The reason that "Replace All" and "In Selection" are 2 buttons rather than a checkbox and a button is that this requires fewer mouse clicks or key strokes to perform one of these actions. It also means that you don't have to check the current value of the checkbox so the whole replace command can be remembered as a stream of actions without a branch. > NH said: > > It is possible but contends with the idea that multiple line > > selection before find/replace means that the user probably wants to > > restrict the scope of the operation. > In which case the user would be manually typing the "find what" text? Currently this is set to the most recent search term which is IMO useful as I will often have searched for a term to find examples before deciding to perform a replace. > While we're discussing this dialog, could you please help explain the > "Search only in this style" option. This is Jakub's option. I think it adds more complexity than it is worth which is why it requires setting a property to enable it.
