I tell you, you've cut my workflow time in half. Easily.

One of the really wonderful small fixes is the ability to replace searches without resetting the cursor on every page. I do seem to have found one weird glitch to this. When I'm searching for missing apostrophes("Bob s", "you re", "They ll", etc), I use the following expression:

Code:
(*UCP) (?=([stmd]|re|ve|ll)\b)(?!re-|\p{L}’)
and then replace the blank space with a fancy closing single-quote (’).

For whatever reason, it won't let me replace, neither with the "Replace" button nor the "Ctrl+]" keyboard shortcut! Not even if i reset the cursor at the beginning of the page. The only way to do it is to manually paste the apostrophe in the highlighted space... which is what i'd been doing in 5.3 anyway, so no biggie. Still, thought I'd share.
What is your exact Find and exact Replace values?

For amusement, right click on the Find text box, select Add to Searches. Then open the Search Editor. Select that entry, right click and select export. Save it somewhere and attach it to a post
