What is the key command to replace the next occurrence? I want to step through and determine whether or not i replace the occurrence or pass it over.
How to step through search / replace
As far as I know, this does not exist. See e.g. my request from 2009 Find and Replace Wishlist
Iām forced to copy whatever I want to replace with, and then press āfind nextā and āpasteā a lot. Obviously this doesnāt work for regular expression replaces, which Iām forced to do all at once or by clicking the replace button with the mouse.
I would really love for this command to exist.
On the plus side, four out of the five things I requested were implemented. Just not this one.
There is a command for this, replace_next, but itās not bound to any keys by default. If you bind it, you should see the key binding appear in the Replace buttonās tool tip.
Awesome! I had tried just āreplaceā and that didnāt work.
I am so happy right now.
