So the other day a Sublime lover showed me how to do incremental search/replace in sublime and asked if I could do that in Visual Studio. After googling I found that Visual Studio does support Incremental Search through Ctrl + I, but there was no obvious way of doing "Replace All". Googling further didn't give any promising results. I did however find that this would require support for multiple carets, which I'm not sure is available or not in VS. Does anyone know how to do that?

Some possible alternates could be the Rename facility and Find/Replace etc, but none of them is as swift as Incremental Search. I have tried a few add-ins too, but none of them does what the linked video shows.

  • @jessehouwing: Thanks. MixEdit (your first link) basically does it. The second one proved to be a piece of crap. Unfortunately MixEdit is not free ($10 registration) and currently shows a warning message if u try to install it on VS2017 (works fine though). Anyway it does provide the functionality I was looking for. – dotNET Mar 16 '17 at 17:00
