I
do enjoy that functionality in the S&R engines of text editors that have it: Replace current/Replace Current & Find Next/Replace All. It's handy to immediately see the results of the replace a few times before committing to either of the other options.
More of a luxury/wish-list item for me, though. It would be
appreciated but certainly not expected.
