I think Dev-C++ used to have something like this. But, the Replace dialog finds the first instance, maybe replaces, and then stops.. leaving me to press the Replace button again if I want to continue searching (which is almost always the case). Most text/document editors have both a 'Replace' and a 'Replace all'.

-I'm pretty sure this used to exist.  *Currently*, in the Replace dialog, when "Prompt on replace" is checked:  It finds the first instance, and prompts me (to which I respond Yes or No), and then stops.. leaving me to press the Replace button again if I want to continue searching (which is almost always the case).

    Actually I had to search very hard to find the "replace all" feature (I did not select "prompt on replace" at first). It should really be a button on the find/replace dialog, like all other editors.
