            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! :-)

                      Lots of “cheating” going on.
                      I guess my way of cheating for this is HERE.
