multi line find/replace would be nice but I assume this won’t happen anytime soon.

The ToolBucket plugin offers it, although this isn’t an endorsement as I really don’t use that feature myself! :-)

thx, was not aware that a plugin has solved this already.
But this one of the things I would like to see in npp itself, currently
I’m doing this via pythonscript.

You are very much NOT alone in this. :-)

With a nice UI?
THAT I would certainly like to see! :-)
