    A few small requests, all concerning Notepad++'s Replace function:

    1. It's nice to be able to see the results of each Replace operation—but how about making it optional? E.g., you could add a "Show results" checkbox to the Replace window, which would be selected by default.

    2. When the "Find what" string isn't found, instead of saying "0 occurrences were replaced" (which always makes my head spin for a second), how about the more direct and intuitive "Text not found" ?

    3. I know I can close the Replace window by pressing Esc. But 99% of the time, I use it to replace just one kind of string, then I'm done—so it'd be nice to have an option to close the window automatically after a successful Replace operation. How about adding checkbox like this?: "Close this window when Replace is done"

    Thanks, Ander

      Good candidate for an idea in IdeaTorrent.

      You are looking at this post, right? Scroll to near the top of this page, and spot a menu bar with a Hosted Apps entry. Then hover on that entry, it will display a few choices, choose IdeaTorrent. Hopefully things are pretty intuitive past this point.

        Okay, done. Thanks. (Hey, I'd rather post Idea Torrents than eat!)
