Description

You should adjust or at least check the default shortcut in the addon config . It's difficult to find a shortcut that works for everyone: Windows and Mac have different built-in OS shortcuts and there are hundreds of addons with their own shortcuts. Keep in mind that on MacOS setting "Ctrl" in the addon config means that you actually need to use "Cmd". This add-on allows you to define a list of replacements and gives you a shortcut to apply all of these substitutions/replacements on the currently active field of the editor. Actually it's two lists: plain text and regular expressions. How this add-on works: -These replacements refer to the html source code of a field and not what you actually see. -My add-on uses python's re.sub (regular expression matching operations similar to those found in Perl) to apply the regex replacements. The code for the configuration window is taken from the great add-on Symbols As You Type by github.com/jefdongus . For batch replacements there's also the built-in find and replace functionality as well as glutanimate's Batch Editing . These do the opposite: They allow you to change one thing about multiple fields and multiple notes whereas my add-on is about changing multiple things in one field in one note.
