Notepad++ should have a text area instead of small field for Search and Replace
-
Sometimes I like to search and replace multiple lines with Notepad++ It would be nice to have a large text area in Find in files and Replace tabs so that it is easier to paste text. Is it possible to change text fields into text areas?
-
not by configuration, no.
If you want to address this as a new feature, then I would recommend to open this
on npps github page.Cheers

Hello @admin-email, @claudia-frank and All
You should, as a work-around, use the excellent Python script of Claudia ( link below ) which is able to fill up, at the same time, the Find what: and the Replace with: areas, of the Replace dialog, with two previous multi-lines selections !
Note that, natively, the Find what: and the Replace with: areas cannot accept more than 2,046 consecutive characters !
