Any Search & Replace favourite feature/plugin?

iieeann · 12-25-2023, 02:15 AM

Hi, I need to search and replace certain words every time I get a new book. It is troublesome to type again & again for every book. The drop down list can only store limited history search. I cannot remember all the words that i need to search and replace also. The need to switch between normal, regex & whole html or this page etc is multiplying the troublesome.

Is there a save to favourite feature for Search & Replace so that i do not need to type the same thing again & again every time? Thanks.

The regex also seems like not supporting multiple replacement. for example I want to search and replace the following:-

qw=er
as=df
zx=cv

find: qw|as|zx
replace: er df cv

It will not work. It can do the search, but when replace it replaces everything with "er df cv"

Without saved favourite for easy replacement, and unable to do multiple replacement is really inconvenience.

Using replace: (?1er)(?2df)(?3cv) also not working.
