how to do vi search and replace within a range in sublime text

Question

I enabled vintage mode on sublime text.. but there are some important vim commands that are lacking.. so let's say I want to do a search and replace like so

:10,25s/searchedText/toReplaceText/gc 

so I wanna search searchedText and replace it with toReplaceText from lines 10 to 25 and be prompted every time (ie yes/no)..

how do I do this with Sublime Text? everytime I hit : it gives me this funny menu.. any way around that?

Answer 1

If you so much would like to see vim in action, try the other way around; ie enable sublime stuff in vim.

Here are 2 links that might come in handy: subvim and vim multiple cursors (Which is one amazing feature in sublime that lacks in native vim).

Hope that gets you creative ;)

Answer 2

Unfortunately vintage mode does not understand ranges. The best way I know how to do this is with incremental search:

1. highlight the first occurrence of searchedText on line 10
2. hit cmnd/ctrl D to have Sublime find the next occurence
3. If you you want the next occurrence ignored, hit cmnd/ctrl K
4. Once you have highlighted all the occurrences, you can replace them all at once, as Sublime has left cursors behind on every occurrence you opted in on.
