hello,

this following feature would be nice to have:

Ctrl-H search and replace, extended handling

eg.

cursor stands on "M" of MyClass

MyClass.TheMethod(blahblah);

after Ctrl-H, field search for: "MyClass"

it would be nice, if cursor right would insert each following char like
".", "T", "h", "e", "M", "e", "t", "h", etc.

thank you ms.

Click to expand...

I don't think that there is enough reason to add that functionality, as
the current functionality is so close.

Just select the word before pressing Ctrl-H, and it's put in the search
field.

An easy way to select whole words is to hold down Ctrl and click on it.

Another useful feature:
For instant search, select the word and press Ctrl+F3 to search for the
next instance of the word. Press F3 to continue the search.
