Ctrl+C or V recorded in Macro usable in Search and Replace

Post by samahita »

Textpad could be enhanced if:

Now a macro cannot record to use Ctrl+V in
neither search nor replace window, but the macro
always repeats the pattern last used, which often
is quite irrelevant now.

It should be possible to record a macro like:

find pattern X,
copy to clipboard (ctrl+C)
find and replace in all files:
paste pattern X (ctrl+v) in search window.
paste pattern X (ctrl+v) & modifications in replace window.
replace in all files
step on line down

Such a macro could solve multiple replaces SEE:

if run to end of replace pattern file.
