fixing a typo - extra step needed

[cybmole]

to fix a type with sigil I just open the book , go directly to find/replace & put in what I am looking to fix

with calibre editor I have to add an extra step, find/replace will not appear until I first select a html file. as I plan to search the whole book this seems superfluous , indeed any file will do as I have find set to search all text.

so could it not be changed to work like sigil & not require me to select a file before allowing a search ?

Sigil ALWAYS opened one file(usually the cover/jacket), thus the missing step had been performed for you.

editor does not waste your CPU by opening the unneeded file

for me: much less mouse strain to have sigil "waste" a couple of CPU cycles & always do it for me. but make it a toggle preference & everyone could be happy
