Available commands

All of the following commands are available via Ctrl-Shift-P.

* Use cmd instead of ctrl on Mac

"Regex" commands accept any regular expression valid in JavaScript. Use s (DOTALL) flag if you want to match multiple lines. See MDN for syntax reference, but keep in mind that you need to prefix flag between (? and ) like (?gs) and inner part of the regex without the enclosing slashes (/.../) like (?gs)\d+.

Flags

You can prefix flags between (? and ) like (?gis). If not prefixed default gs flags will be used.

Following is RegExp flags

g(global): Don't return after first match

m(multi line): ^ and $ match start/end of line

i(insensitive): Case insensitive match

y(sticky): Anchor to start of pattern, or at the end of the most recent match

u(unicode): Match with full unicode

s(single line): Dot matches newline

d(indices): The regex engine returns match indices

Following is extension specific flags

p(path): Read find and replace value from file path. Use + to specify multiple path like common.txt+order.txt

c(change): Change key and value. For example, a:1 means replace 1 with a, but means replace a with 1 when c flag used.

w(word): Find word only by enclosing find value with defaultBoundary of setting to prevent replace again case. Target will change to value when c flag used.

Available settings

If you are using Settings UI, you will find these settings under "Find Replace" section.

Under the hood: Available commands ids

You can use these command ids to make your own keybindings.
