Description
IMO there should be an improved function for different
search
and
search+replace
operations
providing different settings for noting
- case sensitive yes/no
- whole words only
- searching start (home/caret)
- searching direction
- and some more settings
- follow up search by [F3]
(screenshots taken from Bricx Command Center:)
Find = ctrl+F

Replace = ctrl+R (altern. ctrl+H ):

Contributor guide
Research direction
No file or test is identified; start by reading the requested search and search-and-replace behavior and locating the Arduino IDE editor entry points that implement them. Compare the current behavior with the requested case, whole-word, starting-position, direction, and follow-up-search settings; done means those requirements are implemented and verified.
