Not newbie, but WFM, on `<ctrl>f` the word under the editor cursor is put in the search box and selected so by default typing will replace it all.
What _is_ newbie is not providing any information on the version of Geany and GTK and OS from the `Help->Debug Messages` that look like this: ``` 08:41:52: Geany INFO : Geany 1.38 (git >= b524a58e), en_AU.UTF-8 08:41:52: Geany INFO : GTK 3.24.20, GLib 2.64.6 08:41:52: Geany INFO : OS: Linux Mint 20 (ulyana) ``` -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
