It would be nice for the find/replace fields to support
text that consists of multiple lines. One example that I
ran into was taking an abstract file with some abstract
methods in it ending in semicolons and copy-and-pasting
the methods into a concrete subclass. I wanted to
replace those particular semicolons with
{
}
but this is currently not possible.

We could at least process escape characters such as \n.
