I really want to like ST but its search/replace UI has always been completely counter intuitive to me.

I'm used to a lot of different ways of doing search/replace (IDEA, emacs, vim to name a few) but somehow, my brain doesn't seem to be able to become fluent with ST's approach.



What is it that confuses you? There's a "Find" box, a "Replace" box, and then a "Replace" button.


It goes across multiple files by default in a confusing manner and the flow to automatically replace or do it one by one doesn't make sense to me.


Gotcha, I could see how that could be confusing. I typically just use multi cursors to find/replace when in a single file.
