CodeLite IDE

I consider this a fairly basic feature and one necessary for easy code-maintenance - particularly when splitting up a source into many source files.
Is there any plan to include this in a future version of the program?

Isn't Find-In-Files / Replace-In-Files enough?

Ctrl-Shift-F -> instead of selecting 'Find' click on 'Replace'
This will perform a search in files and will open a pane with list of matches where you will be able to select which selection you want to replace (and with what)

I'll admit I didn't spot this.
It might be a good idea to consolidate the two functions -
adding a 'Search in all workspace files' tickbox to the standard find/replace dialogs would be enough to do so.

Just noticed a minor bug-
when doing a Find-across-all-files and using replace, the text in the replacement dialog box is highlighted but the actual selected window is the code editor -
this catches me out every time.

Also, I have to say, the search-and-replace interface is not tremendously good.
Doing it via the standard 'Find' and 'Replace' dialogs with a checkbox for 'all files' would be infinitely more usable.
Look at the way the ConText text editor does it -

I am not familiar with that text editor. Can you please provide some concrete suggestions on how to improve it?

I've already described that.
If you download the ConText code editor from www.contexteditor.org
and look at the Find/replace dialogs, you will see clearly what I mean.
Thanks,

A few other aspects (in addition to the streamlined multifile support) which make the ConText search/replace dialog a bit more usable:
- switchbox to 'Search from Top' of file or from current line-
- undoing search-and-replace operates across all files, not just currently-selected file
- undo undoes all replacements if 'Replace All' is selected, undoes them one-by-one if search/replace is manually checked per instance of found text
