That was the whole design from the beginning and after more than 10 years, I am not making ui changes without really good reasoning.

That is not changing.

Happy for suggestions for changes or new features and will consider them, but that in *no* way guarantees these changes or requests will ever be accepted into Sigil master.
I looked at this again. If I enter text in the find and replace boxes, click on the find icon, then open Insert Special Character, the character goes into the code window. If Insert Special Character is already open when I enter text in the find and replace boxes and click on the find icon, then the character goes into the replace box.
