I'm moving to Dreamweaver from Notepad++, and while Dw does have many better features than Notepad++, there are a few that I'm really missing.
Is there a way to make the "Home" key on the keyboard take you to the front of where the code starts, instead of the very front of the line? In Notepad++ this is how it works by default, and I don't know why anyone would want to go to the very front of the line instead of the front of the code. I use tabbing to keep it more organized, so this feature is really important to me.
How do I duplicate a line in Dw? In Notepad++ I can select the line and press ctrl + d and it automatically duplicated the code. This is awesome for something like a gallery or a table where I don't want to have to type out every line because it's so similar.
Less important, as I don't use this that often, but can you vertically select in Dw? In Notepad++ you can hold down alt and select lines vertically. Ex:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12147973/vert-select.jpg
Thanks in advance.
For #2, check out the Code Extras extension for Dreamweaver
No Longer works in DW5.5; Try here - http://yoropan.com/en/archives/544
I was also wanting some of this features... I discovered that, at least in CS6, #2 is already in Dreamweaver, but the shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+Down ou Up, depending on the direction that you wanna duplicate the code.
Note that I had to disable the shortcut that turns your screen view for that to work. (It's an intel default, press Ctrl+Alt+f12 to open the options)
And tãa dãaa... IT WORKS! :D
I want to say one thing different. My Dreamweaver theme (Users who use Dreamweaver after use Notepad++). Download Dreamweaver.xml
"Dreamweaver.xml" file is in here for windows: C:\Program Files\Notepad++\themes\Dreamweaver.xml
The answer to #1 = Ctrl+Home in anything in windows will take you to the absolute start of the documents, same as Ctrl+End, Home and End to start and finish of lines, Ctrl+Left or Right arrow to jump entire words...
I too am on the quest for duplicating lines in DW. #3 your image no longer shows.
If I want to duplicated a line I click on the line number, then CTRL+C to copy and CTRL+V to paste. Is that what you're looking for or am I being simple?

I have the following line in a file I'm editing in VSCode:
...............111.........111.............111..
I want to replace all .s with 0s. However, when I highlight the line and do a find/replace for .s, all the .s in the document are replaced, not just the ones in the line I've select, even when I toggle the "Find in selection" button. Is this a bug? In other editors, if I select a chunk of text and then do a find/replace, it will only find/replace matches within the selected block.
Below is a snippet that you should be able to reproduce the issue with. The ...............111.........111.............111.. line is inside the test_unicode function.

I'm using VSCode 1.12.2 in Ubuntu 16.04.
I was able to get it to work but the workflow is poor:
control + H to open Find/Replace
Select your line of text
Click the "Find in selection" icon to the right Alt L or ⎇ ⌘ L on macOS)
Enter your find and replace characters in their inputs
Click the Replace all icon
It works but you have to go through the workflow all over again for each new selection (except for CTR + H of course). BTW I have the exact same behavior in Sublime Text.
Could you go with a regExp to find your lines? Do they contain only .'s and 1's?
This is a more general answer for other users who come here just wanting to use basic find and replace functionality.
On Mac you can press Command + Option + F to open Find and Replace:
Alternatively, you can press Command + F to open Find and then click the little triangle on the left to show the Replace field:
From the VSCode devs:
We used to enable find in selection automatically when opening the
find widget with a selection, but it was too easy to trigger
accidentally and produced a lot of complaints. You probably want to
set "editor.find.autoFindInSelection": true which will make it work
the way you expect.
The VSCode GitHub issue has more details if anyone is interested.
EDIT: The autoFindInSelection option is available starting from VSCode 1.13. That version is currently in development (as of 6/7/2017), so this fix won't work until the new version is released.
I found the following workflow to be fairly painless:
Select text region with mouse or keyboard.
Ctrl+H to toggle find and replace
Alt+L to toggle find in selection
Ctrl+Alt+Enter to replace all (or enter to replace individually)
Since sometimes we might have similarly named things so you don't want to select everything, one of my favorites shortcut sequences is to select the next occurrence:
Use shift and arrows to highlight the term you want to match.
Use Ctrl + d to highlight the next occurrence of the term.
The Basic Editing in VS Code documentation page has some extremely useful variations on find and replace. One extremely useful shortcut is the Column (Box) Selection.
Just ran into this, my solution was to do
command + N to create a new file
paste my selection in there
do my find and replace operations on that while file
copy result back on top of my original selection
On Mac:
Select the text
Press command + shift + L
For mac
Press command + option + f to bring up this menu:
Press the little icon that has the arrow pointing at it above (3 horizontal bars)
Select the text you want to do a find and replace in, and enter the 'find' and 'replace' fields
Press this icon:
That's all!
In 2022, there's a bug to be wary of 🐛
There is a silent bug (I'll add more about this as I learn more about it). But sometimes find and replace within selection doesn't find the values, even if you can see them with your own eyes. This is dangerous because you could think you've replaced them all but it really hasn't.
So do these two things:
a visual check after doing a find and replace (to make sure it worked)
if vscode completely ignores you (and doesn't do the find and replace within selection after you've followed the above instructions), close the find and replace box by pressing the "x" in the corner, and retry the sequence of steps (it worked for me after closing and retrying).
Okay, this is really dumb, at first I felt really stupid when I finally found this, then I realized its just VS Code which has a bad interface.
The key is, there are TWO TOOLS here,
Search/Replace (the pane on the left at the top of the Explorer) and Find/Replace (which is a dialogue which opens when you press CTRL-F)
THESE ARE NOT THE SAME TOOL!!
SEARCH-REPLACE is a tool written for project-wide searches and
changes
FIND-REPLACE is a small dialogue best suited for more
surgical editing.
i.e. you should use FIND-REPLACE!
find replace window image with find-in-selection highlighted
Also, its SUPER IMPORTANT to follow these steps in the right order, or it doesn't give the expected results.
Press CTRL-F to open the find dialogue (usually opens in the top right)
press the little arrow to the right of the find field which opens the replace input field
ensure "find in selection" is turned off (i.e. not highlighted)
type in the fields the strings you want to search/replace
select the text you want to do a search/replace within.
Now press "find in selection" (or type ALT-L)
You should see only highlighting in the area you previously selected.
Now you can click either "replace all" (CTRL-ALT-ENTER) or line-by-line "replace" (ENTER)
I hope this helps.
My suggestion to VSC developers, there should be a refresh button so that after you have selected the area of interest, and you already have your find and replace strings defined, you can select a new region and click "refresh find" instead of needing to repeat steps 3 to 8.
For those where it still does not work, there is one step omitted in all of the above answers: Uncheck "Find in selection" if it is checked (which it probably is when you are struggling with it and in despair googled the problem, and then found this SO entry). Only then select the lines and then re-check "Find in selection".
For Ubuntu, highlight the lines where you want to make changes, press alt-L and then ctrl-H. Then type the name you want to replace and replacement name in the top right dropdown.
Or some combination of these actions depending on whether the dropdown is already open or you're already in alt-L mode. I'm still learning but thought I'd share what's working.
I can't figure out how to find and replace all occurrences of a word in different files using Visual Studio Code version 1.0.
I get the impression this should be possible since doing Ctrl + Shift + F allows me to simply search a folder, but i am clueless to how to proceed from here.
I looked in various key combination
https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/customization/keybindings
But I only found how to replace all occurrences in the open file (Ctrl + h)
All help gratefully appreciated, this is driving me crazy.
I'm using Visual Studio Code 1.8, and this feature is available. But it's a little tricky to understand at first, and (at the time of writing) the docs don't explain clearly how to use it, so here's how it works, step by step:
Invoke Replace in Files (under the Edit menu, or with shortcut Ctrl+Shift+H)
You'll see a standard Find/Replace input replacing the files pane on the left:
Enter your search string and the replace string, then press enter. It may churn for a second searching all files, then it'll show the proposed changes in all your project files -- but note, these changes haven't been made yet! Here's what it looks like:
Now you need to make the changes (and even after that, you have to save the modified files.)
You can make those changes in various ways:
Make all changes to all files at once.
Click the replace icon next to your replace string (note: you'll get a dialog to confirm this bulk action.)
Make all changes in a single file at once.
Click the replace icon next to the filename (note: the icon only shows up when you hover over the filename row)
Make a single change in a single file.
Click the replace icon next to the individual change: (note: the icon only shows up when you hover over the change row)
Finally, don't forget to save!
All those files are now modified in the editor and not yet saved to disk (unless Auto Save is on).
Use File -> Save All (or Ctrl+Alt+S)
Update: I'm not sure when this was added, but if you click the "Replace all" button and see this dialog, clicking "Replace" will change and save all files in one click:
Since version 1.3 of vscode this is possible
Navigate to the search, click icon to the left or:
(mac) cmd + shift + h
(PC) ctrl + shift + h
expand replace
enter search term and replace term
confirm!
To replace a string in a single file (currently opened): CTRL + H
For replacing at workspace level use: CTRL + SHIFT + H
Update for 2020
If you are using the search feature to search across files (Ctrl + Shift + F) it can be easy to miss how to convert your search to a search and replace within the UI.
Here's a typical search result:
To convert this to a search and replace you need to click the arrow icon to the left of the search input field. This will open the replace options as seen below. Note the arrow icon is now pointed down.
The keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + H will also work as well to access the search and replace.
Link to VSCode docs on search and replace: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/codebasics#_search-and-replace
This is the best way.
First put your cursor on the member and click F2.
Then type the new name and hit the Enter key. This will rename all of the occurrences in every file in your project.
This is ideal for when you want to rename across multiple files. For example, you may want to rename a publicly accessible function on an Angular service and have everywhere that uses it get updated.
For more great tools I highly recommend:
https://johnpapa.net/refactoring-with-visual-studio-code/
On the Visual Studio Code Key Bindings page, the section Keyboard Shortcuts Reference has links to a PDF for each major OS. Once open, search for "replace in files" or any other shortcut you might need.
Another way is to use the Command Palette (ctrl/cmd+shift+P) where you can type "replace" to list all related commands, including the one you want:
Replace in Files ctrl/cmd+shift+H
Visual Studio Code: Version: 1.53.2
If you are looking for the answer in 2021 (like I was), the answer is here on the Microsoft website but honestly hard to follow.
Go to Edit > Replace in Files
From there it is similar to the search funtionality for a single file.
I changed the name of a class I was using across files and this worked perfectly.
Note: If you cannot find the Replace in Files option, first click on the Search icon (magnifying glass) and then it will appear.
There are 2 methods technically same
First put your cursor on the word and press F2.
Replace your word and press Enter.
First put your cursor on the word and left click it.
Click "Rename Symbol" option.
Replace your word and press Enter.
In the VSC version 1.57
you can use the F2 key to replace on the folder(Rename Symbol)
Only thing is that even though all the places inside folder are replaced the file is not saved and the save has to be done afterwards
Also, instead of presing enter and replace all directly, you can press Shift + Enter to preview the places that are going to be renamed.
Step by step with images
Nowadays in VS Code this can be done quickly.
1) Click on the Search Button (in the side bar):
2) Enter in the inputs what do you want to find, and with what do you want to replace it:
(Here I am replacing in my project all the occurrences of table-cell with t-cell)
3) Finally, click on this small button (Replace All):
Then a pop-up will appear to confirm if you want to replace all occurrences. Click on Replace.
And you're done!
For search and replace all use this command:
command + option + F
I enabled vintage mode on sublime text.. but there are some important vim commands that are lacking.. so let's say I want to do a search and replace like so
:10,25s/searchedText/toReplaceText/gc
so I wanna search searchedText and replace it with toReplaceText from lines 10 to 25 and be prompted every time (ie yes/no)..
how do I do this with Sublime Text? everytime I hit : it gives me this funny menu.. any way around that?
If you so much would like to see vim in action, try the other way around; ie enable sublime stuff in vim.
Here are 2 links that might come in handy:
subvim and vim multiple cursors (Which is one amazing feature in sublime that lacks in native vim).
Hope that gets you creative ;)
Unfortunately vintage mode does not understand ranges. The best way I know how to do this is with incremental search:
highlight the first occurrence of searchedText on line 10
hit cmnd/ctrl D to have Sublime find the next occurence
If you you want the next occurrence ignored, hit cmnd/ctrl K
Once you have highlighted all the occurrences, you can replace them all at once, as Sublime has left cursors behind on every occurrence you opted in on.
VintageEx gives you a Vim-like command-line where you can at least perform substitutions. Well, that's how far I went when trying it. I don't know how extended the subset of Vim commands it implements is but I'd guess that it's not as large as the original and, like with Vintage, probably different and unsettling enough to keep a relatively experienced Vimmer out.
Anyway, I just tried it again and indeed you can more or less do the kind of substitution you are looking for, which instantly makes ST a lot more useful:
:3,5s/foo/bar/g
:.,5s/bar/foo/g
:,5/foo/bar/g
:,+5/bar/foo/g
Unfortunately, it doesn't support the /c flag.
a plugin named vintageous offers more features including search function. It's available in package control
although this question is answered.. i figured this would add some value
the full functionality of vi search/replace is possible with the ruby mine IDE, once you install the ideavim plugin. The idea is perfect for ruby on rails by the way.

I would like to pad them with zeroes so they are all like the first example. I'm aware of the regular expressions feature in notepad++ but am struggling to get it to work. I appreciate any help given.
You could do it via a macro.
First append a large number of zeroes to the end of each line using a macro.

type out 20 zeroes
press down arrow
click stop recording

Then...
Caret on first line
click record
press home key
press the right arrow key 20 times
hold shift and press end key
press delete key
press down arrow
click stop recording
play the macro until all lines are processed
You could save the entire process as a single macro so its just a single click in the future.
I can give you a macro solution
go to the beginning of your text
select Macro/Start Recording
press end, press 0 16 times then press Home and down arrow key
select Macro/End Recording
You now have a macro to add sixteen zeros to the end of all lines.
Playback this macro on all lines.
You now have appended zeroes to all lines.
Pressing Alt key and using mouse select the required block(columns) of text you want and paste it into another empty notepad tab
help on column mode editing is there inside notepad ? / help contents menu
Good luck
You can use the plugin ConyEdit to do this.
With ConyEdit running in the background, follow these steps:
use the command line cc.aal 00000000000000000000 to append after lines with twenty zero character.
use the command line cc.gc 1/\d{20}/ to get the first column of regex match.
Looking to do this manualy and not progomaticly ?
Open Findreplace
Copy from the last to rhe first WITHOUT NUMBERS on a line so...
in this example
111111111111111111 <---from here
to here ---> 166616666666663661
166611111111111661
paste that into the fine ( yes your effecticly copying the return wich some applications allow you to manualy input others wont )
then in the replace box, type '0' then your return
Hit that magic replace all :D
This will then add a 0 every time it hits a new line, then add a new... new line....
edit : quickly reviewing another method a second to recover for alternate options :P give me 10
edit 2:
Ah ok somthing like this will work :P just tested it.
use [0-9] in the find replace. so if im looking for 123123123123 ( wich is 12 long ) and i need to buff i up to 20,
Your FIND must be in ()
so..
the find would be
([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] )
and the replace is referd to as \1 no the regex, this was my mistake
\100000000
tested and confirmed !dont forget YOU NEED MATCH ALL on, WRAP off!
And so on for your other numbers, Not sure if you can loop this with macros nd stuff :P but hope it helps more than you have now
two good resources.

http://regexpal.com/
base on OP's comment: you could try an editor called vim/gvim
open your file in vim, then type:
:%s/.*/\=printf("%-20s",getline("."))/|%s/ *$/\=substitute(submatch(0)," ","0","g")/
don't forget pressing <Enter> after the above typing.
then you will see the text has been changed into what you want.
of course vim macro can work as well, however, I feel command better... :)
Is there a way to autoindent or a shortcut to insert a select number of spaces as a tab in the SAS Progam Editor on Unix?
I'm used to using the enhanced editor on PC and this is the only part of the switch that I can't find the answer to.
On the line numbers to the left of the code in the program editor, enter the >># command (replace # with a number) to indent '#' spaces to the right and <<# for shifting to the left. Enter these commands on the starting line and ending line. All rows inclusive between them will shift.
For a single line, ># or <#.
Without trying to start a flame-war... have you and your team considered NOT using the tab key in code? This way code always appears consistent regardless of editor/tab settings. Especially handy when you use a combination of vi/EG/SAS editor/notepad etc... I've worked at places that do this and it works great once you get everyone to agree to it.
When you open up existing code with tabs, just figure out how many spaces the tab is supposed to represent and do a search/replace.
It's still as fast to navigate quickly when you use, ctrl-left/ctrl-right in windows editors (and unix eds if setup that way), or 'w' and 'b' to jump to the next/previous word when using vi.
Cheers
