Description
The replace text dialog of the code editor currently supports replacing all instances of a text phrase in a file or just one instance of the text.

There are times when a user may want to replace several, but no all occurrances of a text phrase in the file.  The replace text dialog does not easily support this.

Right now the user has to open the replace text dialog each time they want to make a replacement.  This is both tedious and error prone as the user has to go through the trouble of invokeing the diallog again and specify the text to search for.

It would be nice if the replace text dialog could remain visible after each replacement to support any subsequent replacements a user might want to make.

Will this work for you?

  "Search | Replace"
  Check "Prompt on replace"
  Click "Replace All"
  Choose "yes" or "no" accordingly
