Three postfix characters, '+', '-', '!', places after wildcard designator in replace text, make text upper/lower/initcaps.

E.g.

Find: .$
Replace: .$+

uppercases all C ids that are after '.'.

Also, @# inserts 1-based replacement index and @@ zero-based.

I have not had the need to use wildcards in searching yet.

As far as the Find/Replace the biggest problem was it disappearing when using the mouse without having easy access to the keyboard for Ctrl+F.

Well, it is by design, but perhaps it was more important when Find (where it is IMO fine) and Find&Replace were the same dialog.

Can you please describe in detail when this behavior is not right?

If you are referring to the FindReplace box disappearing TheIde is the only IDE, text editor, etc. that I recall where the Find box just vanishes.

If you start in the middle of a file and none is found to the end it's gone.
With the changes above it will go to the top of the file and search from there. You can change what the search is for.

For some the Ctrl+F is inconvenient like a slate computer where an on screen keyboard needs to be pulled up.
I posted the changes in case someone else would like to try it.
It was important enough I took the time to find out what was needed to stop the Find box from just vanishing.

Upp is great but that bothered me.

Well, it will go there if you do press "find next"... Actually, I have tried to tune that behavior for minimum interaction for typical usage scenario, dialog disappearing when location is found and you start editing there (moving cursor), or there is no location. I mean, it is not a bug but intended feature.

OK, I guess that I should add those changes as option... ("Do not close find/replace automatically")

That would be a good option.
Before I was pulling up notepad++ to do my editing/searching just because of the find box vanishing.

That is great.

I will download the latest daily and try it.

When Upp gets into Ubuntu mainstream more will appreciate this option as well as those all ready used to having the Find/Replace stay open until intentionally closed like in many other apps.
