Search and replace directly in <textarea> (eg. in forums, blogs...)!

When I edit or create a post (in blog or forum for example) sometimes we need to replace some words or characters, a new function (replace) can be very usefull.

(see the picture attached)

ps. Excuse my english

You can use this userjs for now:Replace (supports RegExps)

Press [Ctrl+R] when the focus is on textarea to open the replace dialog.

Although I don't fancy extra entries in menus as that would clutter the user interface. Rather, the normal Find dialog, if invoked from a location that supports editing, could have two tabs: Find and Replace. Or a More> section or something.

Sorry Ayush but I don't like userjs..

I hope that opera developers like my suggestion, find and replace is something that I need more and more..

I created a NEW Find/Replace script- Download

The shortcut is same(focus the text area and press Ctrl+R) but you can change the shortcut and many other things in script..
You can also undo the change done by script using Ctrl+Z !
