Chromium is often used under GNU/Linux distributions, as it is open
source, and available in official package repositories (whereas Chrome
isn't). Please avoid using Google Chrome from now.
Chrome-based browsers are sometimes useful as Firefox is often slower.
Some browser-based apps are mainly targeted to Chrome. But fortunately
there is an open source and user-respectful alternative (really?

Here is my technique: searching once, then using F3 and typing or
pasting the replacement. I'm used to web edition.
Actually, what's the most boring is the loading of the browser: loading
the page, loading the page in edit mode, opening the editor (and opening
links — the horrible thing), saving the editor's content, publishing the
page.

I do that sometimes for long and no-risk replacements, or for
replacements with regular expressions.

I think a history is kept… Just look at the History menu when you're in
edit mode.
What do you mean by ‘it wrapped’? That spaces were not left in source code?

I love dashes and I use them very often. The problem is the use of
narrow dashes; typographic rules say to use longer dashes as the
relation between the words around the dash decreases.

Examples:
* Hyphen: The hackfest is co-located with LGM. Non-Coding.
* En-dash: 2015–2016. Isaac Newton (1643–1727). Working 5–10 minutes.
* Em-dash: Inkscape Board — working budget.

I'll think you'll easily find more examples by yourself.

Funny fact… Thus this problem is common. On MMORPGs for example, I don't
feel it so easy to ask ‘what is your gender?’ to every person I talk to.
I think the best idea is to use the language details. In French, most
qualitative adjectives change according to the gender of the qualified —
usually by taking an E. Thus this technique is very effective and may
contribute to the spelling skills of future generations.

She said this means ‘Admin’.

Related fact: I'm seeing this double-space habit on Meta-Wiki:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire&action=edit
(Look at the <!-- INTRO --> part.)
Quite common too.

Our topics are going quite far from the Inkscape project, especially far
from the initial subject, the ‘Hackfest’. Martin even wonders if he must
add a feature from what we're saying.
As it is becoming personal and private, I think that if you reply again,
you should send your e-mail to me only, to avoid spamming all our mates.

Sincerely yours,
