Sometimes when replacing with regular expressions (especially with groups) I'm not totally sure that my substitution will be correct.
With the current search and replace there is no easy way to know if it went good since when hitting the replace button the selection jumps immediately to the next match. Even stopping the replace means that you have to search backwards the last substitution, which is not simple if it went bad. Could it be possible to preview the line as it will be after the substitution? I mean something like copying the line in a temporary buffer, perform the substitution on it and show above the current line, with a colored background.
