Find and replace in Chau7's terminal editor. Regex supported. No arcane keybindings required.
What is Find & Replace in Chau7?
Find & Replace in Chau7's built-in terminal editor delegates to macOS NSTextFinder. Chau7 provides the standard find bar activated with Cmd+F that highlights matches incrementally as you type.
A match counter in Chau7 shows total results and the current match index. Arrow keys or Enter/Shift+Enter cycle through matches, with the viewport scrolling to keep the current match centered.

Chau7's built-in editor includes find and replace with regex support. Open the find bar with Cmd+F, type a query, and matches highlight across the document with a distinct background color.

Does Chau7's find and replace support regular expressions?
Yes. Chau7's find bar includes a regex toggle that enables full regular expression syntax with capture groups. The replace field supports backreferences ($1, $2) for capture group substitution.
Case sensitivity in Chau7 toggles independently from regex mode. Both options are available as buttons in the find bar.

Yes. The replace-all button applies the replacement to every match in the document. The operation executes immediately through macOS NSTextFinder.
A replace-one button is also available for stepping through matches individually. Both replace-one and replace-all work with plain text and regex patterns.
