Using the Inline Search and Replace

Searching for Text

To use Inline Search, press Ctrl+F within any text editor, and then type the text you wish to search for. All instances of the text are highlighted in the editor and the number of occurrences is displayed. You can use the Next or Previous arrows to navigate the found text. You also have the option to narrow your search using the following options: Case Sensitive, Match Whole Word, and Regular Expression Search.

Inline Search options

If you select a block of text before invoking the Inline Search, the search only applies to the selection. To clear the selection, close the Inline Search or press Ctrl+F from within the editor.

To use the classic Eclipse Find/Replace dialog box, press Ctrl+F from the Inline Search box.

Replacing Text

To replace text, click the down-arrow to the left of the Search box to display the Replace options. Type the replacement text, and then select the Replace and Find Next button or the Replace All button.

Key Bindings

Use the following key binding reference to quickly search for text across your file and optionally initiate replacements as well.
