please add highlight all matches option to Find dialog box

Please consider to add this so that I can easily see all the found words highlighted in the file while I page up and down.

the find phrase did not find this non code 1252 chars.
any ideas on a search phrase to find these pesky chars ?
the tabs and bullets get found, but the plus plus does not get found.

How to delete blank lines and lines with only spaces

I like to get rid of 'screen space wasting ' blank lines.
I was originally manually deleting them.
For great efficiency, Stephen MacDonald from Textpad,
has helped me with the idea of to replace all of them "^\s+\n" with ""
to remove them.
Quite a time saver and made my life a little easier !!!!
