Global search and replace
Search every file in the project for some text, and change it everywhere at once.
When you would want it
Renaming something, or finding every place a mistake was copied to.
Where to find it
- All Features → Global search and replace
- Settings → adcode.navigation.globalSearch
- Keyboard → CmdOrCtrl+Shift+F
What you get out of it
- You see every hit before anything changes - no surprise diffs.
- Pattern search catches variants a plain find misses.
- Results stay live as you edit, so renames across many files stay trackable.
How to use it, step by step
- Press Ctrl+Shift+F.
- Type the text, or a regular expression pattern if you need one.
- Narrow the scope with include/exclude patterns - say, only *.tsx files.
- Review the matched lines grouped per file before touching anything.
- Type the replacement and press Replace All, or replace just the matches you approve one file at a time.
Why this beats the usual way
Where many editors push you to an extension for project-wide replace with review, ADCode treats preview-before-change as the default path. Combined with gutter diffs and git, every mass edit stays visible and reversible.
