Anki 2.1.45 Beta

These are nice ideas. However, I believe Find & Replace is an underused feature, mainly because it’s hidden up there in the notes menu. Also, I don’t think many people will know that replacing tags is supported.

Perhaps one could swap it with the redundant (at least in search mode) Search entry in this context menu, giving it a bit more prominence and also indicating that it can be used with tags now:

I’m thinking of an addition to _maybe_add_search_actions, that would add a context menu entry in the same category as Search (or replace it) and enable direct access to a prefilled Find & Replace dialog for the selected item.

That would make sense for the following item types:

  • SidebarItemType.TAG
    – prefill → Find: selected::tag
    – select → In: Tags
  • SidebarItemType.NOTETYPE_FIELD (PR #1238)
    – select → In: selectedField
