Hello Brian,

The way I have been using it for the last 10 years is to leave the "Cancel
after find" box unchecked all the time and I always use the "Replace then
find" button.
But there always infinite variations on removing the cutaneous layer of a
feline (many ways to skin the cat).

Hello Hak,

Yes, this is a viable solution but it is a bit combersome. This solution
forces you to visit the options page every time you want to do a prompted
replace in order to uncheck the "Cancel after find" box and then again
after
you're through to re-check the box. IMHO, a prompted "replace all" is a
fairly common requirement when doing maintenance programming and from a
product usability/productivity standpoint I think a radio button on the
Find/Replace dialog box to perform a prompted "replace all" would be much
more beneficial than the first two Replace radio buttons that currently
exist.

Regards,

Brian

With my limited knowledge of CODE editor, I think the most viable change
is
to leave the 'Find and Replace' prompt focused after the search. There you
can do a 'Find' then 'Replace'; 'Cancel' to exit the prompt.
