Description _ rkusterer 2006-09-12 20:02:06 UTC 
In the Search and Replace window (ctrl-H), it is possible to use \n \t etc in
the Search field (great!), but why not in the Replace field? 

It is very complicated to replace something with an additional newline. Roman
showed me the trick to capture the newline in the Search field with round
brackets, and then insert it into the Replace field with $1...

Good workaround, but neither userfriendly nor straightforward.
