* MacOS has a system-wide feature that does this better than N++: Select a word, command-e, and the selected word goes to the "search pasteboard" or whatever it's called. It fills the search box, and also primes command-g (find next/prev) It works with other search features really well, and is cross-app. * TextMate has amazing regex support. I replace multi-line stuff all the time. Best i've found. * TM column select is most likely just as good, and it has multi-select (non-column based multi-selection). (I don't know the in's and outs of n++ to comment) * TM uses the usual command-t for something else, but command-option-n isn't too bad for a new tab. * command-e to prime selection, then option-command-f to selects all. These are real multi-selections not just highlights, so you can edit-all, copy-paste, etc.
