Macros don't record Find/Replace?

[natebeaty]

I just today realized macros don't record Find/Replace actions, which I find pretty shocking at this stage in ST2. I guess the fact that it took well over a year of intense daily use before realizing this runs contrary to my feeling it's a vital feature.

Painfully, I had to fire up Textmate 1 for the first time since .. Apr 2011? to record a macro of several regex find/replace actions to clean up a bunch of old crappy HTML source.

While the RegReplace plugin seems like it could do this, it was overkill for a temporary series of somewhat complex actions I wanted to repeat on a few files -- exactly what macros are ideal for.

I upvoted this User Echo post, but I was wondering if adding Find/Replace to macro recording is on the roadmap at all?

For what it's worth, I'll add that I find this pretty shocking, too. I'm a new Sublime user, and I noticed it within a week. This the ability to do searches and cut/paste commands in macros was one of my favorite ways to do simple text processing in Emacs. It seems like an obvious thing to get in Sublime. I'm still trying to figure out if there is a way to make this work.
