Sorry, I find it impossible to think that:
- alt-tab to Editpad
- select the search text
- ctrl-c to copy the search text
- alt-tab to calibre
- ctrl-f to put the cursor in the find field
- ctrl-v to past the search text
- alt-tab to Editpad
- select the change text
- ctrl-c to copy the change text
- alt-tab to calibre
- tab to get to the change field
- ctrl-v to past the change text
- press enter to search
- press whatever to make the change (don't know what the keyboard shortcut is)
- repeat the last two for all occurrences in the file Or use change all if it is safe
- repeat all of the above for all of the search/changes
is faster than what I described. Even if I do one saved search at a time, all I am doing is selecting the next search in the list and pressing the buttons. And if I added in the number of mistakes I would expect in going through a long list, then doing it manually gets even worse.
