1195057 - Add a "Replace" entry in 'Edit' menu of Scratchpad and include this action in the description of Ctrl+Shift+R keyboard shortcut in the documentation

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools Graveyard :: Scratchpad, defect, P3)

Description

[Kostas]

- Open Scratchpad
- Open Edit Menu --> Notice that there is no 'Replace' entry.
- Open Scratchpad documentation (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Scratchpad#Keyboard_shortcuts) by pressing Help|Scratchpad Help
You'll notice that Ctrl+Shift+R is only described as: 
"Reload the current page, then run Scratchpad code". 
There is no mention for this 'Replace' feature in the page at all.
- Now switch to Scratchpad, and press Ctrl+Shift+R:
the CodeMirror "Replace:/With:" prompt appears.
But, note: once the CodeMirror "Replace:" prompt has focus in scratchpad, 
Ctrl+Shift+R will reload and run the scratchpad code.

So I'd suggest that you add a "Replace" entry in 'Edit' menu
and include this action in the description of Ctrl+Shift+R keyboard shortcut in the documentation.

Scratchpad was removed in Bug 1519103 (Firefox 72). You can check the alternative in https://wiki.developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Deprecated_tools#Scratchpad .

The Scratchpad bug list was reviewed and I think this bug can be safely closed.
