Is it possible find and replace for multiple notes #1

Is it possible to find and replace in multiple notes, instead of just one?

TClark1011 commented 3 years ago

The scope of this plugin is just for a find/replace within your current selection. I am aware that you can have highlights across multiple notes via plugins like Sliding Panes, but as far as I am aware the obsidian API only allows access to the text selected in the currently active note, unfortunately.

Thanks for the information. That's indeed unfortunate news. Maybe I can open the vault in VS Code and make such changes there with the following plugin: NomarCub/obsidian-open-vscode: Open vault in VSCode button for Obsidian.md

That should work, I have used VSCode to do that myself and it worked just fine
