feature request: quick replace functionality #20

This plug-in works great -- in its ease of use, it is a productivity booster. What I personally would find even more useful is to have quick text replace functionality. In terms of UI, I would imagine it to have just another textbox in the status bar. This would make the Glance plugin on par with Netbean's popular quick search functionality. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for comment! The problem with replace functionality is UI. In Eclipse, we can't add one more raw to the status bar as it was done in Netbeans (at least I don't know how). It also will be hard to place replace box to the same raw. I've tried to make Glance panel as short as possible to show it in the status bar correctly. So I don't think there is enough space for two text boxes.

If you have any ideas about how it can be implemented in Eclipse - let me know.
