I am working with a file and editing it under J7 GTK

When I copied the file in all the words came in on one word per line.

I wanted to change this removing the LF and replacing them with space.
I put the cursor after a word and used copy and in the find window I pasted
in and opened up replace and put a space in.

After a long time it finished and I had one very long line.
The file was over 20.000 lines long before the operation.

I then did a similar operation with . and replacing that with . and LF

Having this working like this is fine.

What I do like to know if I can control better if/when I want to use
LF/TAB/CR and other invisible char in find/replace?

Working with copy/paste on invisible chars is not very easy.
