Although i'm now stuck in a Windows world, I grew up on Macs and for years did all my coding in BBEdit. The only thing i really miss, though, is how BBEdit handles Find and Replace (see http://www.bbedit.com/images/aqua_find_dialog.gif for a screenshot of the dialog window). Perhaps the JetBrains folks can get a copy and try it out? There's a free Lite version available (http://www.bbedit.com/products/bbedit_lite.html), although I don't know if Find and Replace is as powerful as in the commercial version (http://www.bbedit.com/products/bbedit.html).
I'd love to see the following Find and Replace features added to IDEA: 1) The ability to be able to toggle between the Find and Replace windows. For example, if i type CTRL-F to bring up the Find window and then i realize i'd really like to do a replace, i should be able to type CTRL-R to switch to the replace window (and IDEA should keep whatever i've already typed in the Find window). The reverse would be nice too. Actually, for the four search-related windows (Find, Find in Path, Replace, Replace in Path), it might be nice to be able to switch from one to any of the other three simply by typing the shortcut for it (yes, this is motivated by stupidity...i often type CTRL-F instead of CTRL-SHIFT-F). You'll see in the BBEdit screenshot mentioned above that BBEdit just combines the find and replace windows (though there are still separate shortcut keystrokes). It's done very intuitively, IMO, and this is how i'd love IDEA to behave. 2) Multi-line search and replace text boxes. The current single-line boxes drive me insane. 3) Ability to save find and replace patterns (this is one of the BBEdit features i miss most). 4) A fixed-width font in the find and replace textboxes. It currently appears to use the IDE font (e.g. Dialog), but i would prefer it to use the editor font.
