Thanks for this tip! Unfortunately it only works in Writer documents. As so
very often things work differently (or not at all) in other documents. In Calc
the subscript replacement does not work. In Impress the marked text is not
automatically put into the replacement field and pasting or entering anything
there manually will be unformatted text.
I am filing a new bug report for that ... LibreOffice is _seriously_ fucked up!
(sorry for strong language)

> PS: And how about Edit->Find&Replace using Regular Expressions?
This is what I am doing now but it is not optimal and such a replacement has to
be verified for each and every occurrence to rule out mistakes.

I still consider this a bug because a command should not influence unmarked
text before the cursor! If this is being done on purpose than it is still a
bug. Doing things automatically to help the user is wrong, wrong, wrong!
Microsoft is doing these "intelligent" things in their office package and it
does more harm than it helps. It is wrong that users have to anticipate what
software is going to do in different situations!
