No search/replace in table mode?
It seems that Atom's built-in search/replace mechanism doesn't work in table mode. This would be a really handy feature to have, since it makes modifying entire columns of data a snap (especially with regular expressions).
Is this a known limitation or am I doing something wrong?
Hi @pkirkovsky
Is this a known limitation or am I doing something wrong?
You're not doing something wrong, the issue is that find and replace only works with text editors. As I wrote on discuss I would love to reuse the find and replace UI instead of having to build my own, but I fear this won't happen in a near futur. But it's definitely on my roadmap.
Is there a good idea to create hidden TextEditor with raw csv each time when search is requested. In that way, we would use exists find&replace API, then we get TextEditorMarker's and highlight and update Tablr models ?
I am using atom only to use this extension, and this search(even without replace) feature would be really, really cool to have!
Please please let me do find and replace. This package is awesome. thanks.
