AkelPad

[danf84]

Hello, I believe there's a bug in Akelpad Find and Replace feature.

For example, say I highlight/select this line in the editor:

<INPUT TYPE="Button" NAME="btnFV_Old" VALUE="FV_Old" onClick="btnFV_Old_OnClick()">

I want to ONLY replace "Old" with "New" in the selected line, so I open the dialog with CTRL+R and the "What:" text box says Old, "With:" text box says New; I select "In selection". I hit "Find next"/"Replace", the first value it finds it replaces, but it lost the original selected line, the selection changed when it found the first item.


Borland Delphi 7 editor does this by retaining the original selection, and when it finds a match it uses a different highlighting color within the original selection. It would also be nice if AkelPad could prompt before replacing.

1. Make selection.
2. Open Replace dialog.
3. Fill "What:" and "With:".
4. Check "In selection".
5. Press "Replace all".

You can turn on option to autocheck "In selection" in settings of the program.

"Replace All" works, but half the times I would want to replace some parts of the text, not every part. That's currently not possible in Akelpad for reasons outlined above (no selection within selection support).

Can you tell me if you're EVER going to do this so I can consider whether to look elsewhere or try to write a plugin/modify the source.

If you're still unsure about what I mean, look at the screenshot.

I understand your request. Currently this is not implemented.
