Description Lars Vogel CLA 2016-09-21 15:20:55 EDT 
If I run search and replace and check the changes in the preview mode, it would be very nice if I could adjust the review result.

I do this very often and frequently a search and replace is to 95% correct. Would be nice to adjust the ones which are not correct directly in the preview.

Assigning 4.7 to keep it on the radar.
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2016-10-16 09:37:55 EDT 
You mean, not just replace with a string, but "edit"?
Comment 3 Lars Vogel CLA 2016-11-10 11:36:37 EST 
Note for myself, the compare editor for changes in Git allows editing.

Sorry, I read this as a clarification statement, not a question (missed the ?).

Yes, edit would be desired.

This would probably have to go into the LTK refactoring infrastructure.

BTW: Please stop readding a target milestone unless you take the bug and plan to fix it for that milestone.
