The FIND or FIND&REPLACE features now (gedit 3.4.1) perform TWO functions
(only) (marked ** below)
For full generality, GEDIT should provide FIVE functions, shown below.
The issues are these:
[A] Are search-string remembered on a per-file basis of for all files
[B] Does search/replace operate on a per-file basis or over all files
Maybe there could be a switch to say whether find-search-string should be
REMEMBERED for ONE file or for ALL files.
Maybe there could be a switch to say whether find/replace-strings should be
REMEMBERED for ONE file or for ALL files.
Maybe there could be a switch to say whether find/replace ALL should
OPERATE over ONE file or over ALL files.
The present offering (see two items marked **) is a bit schizophrenic:
** [1] find in present file
remember search string in-and-for the present file only.
[2] search&replace in present file
remember search/repleace strings in-and-for the present file only.
[3] find in present file
remember search string in-and-for ALL files (so searching can proceed file
by file on same search string)
** [4] search&replace in present file
remember search/repleace strings in-and-for ALL files only.
[5] search&replace in ALL files
remember search/repleace strings in-and-for ALL files.
