Editing Text editor (section)

==Typical features==
* Find and replace – Text editors provide extensive facilities for searching and replacing strings of text, either individually, or groups of files in opened tabs or a selected folder. Advanced editors can use [[regular expression]]s to search and edit text or code. Additional features may include optional [[case sensitivity]], a history of search terms for quick recall and [[autocomplete|autocompletion]], and listing multiple results in one place.<ref>{{cite web |title=Searching|url=https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/searching/ |website=Notepad++ User Manual|access-date=21 December 2021}}</ref>{{better source|date=December 2021}}
* [[Cut, copy, and paste]] – most text editors provide methods to duplicate and move text within the file, or between files.
* Ability to handle [[UTF-8]] encoded text.
* [[Text formatting]] – Text editors often provide basic visual formatting features like [[line wrap]], [[indentation (typesetting)|auto-indentation]], [[bullet list]] formatting using [[ASCII]] characters, [[Comment (computer programming)|comment formatting]], [[syntax highlighting]] and so on. These are typically only for display and do not insert formatting codes into the file itself.
* [[Undo|Undo and redo]] – As with word processors, text editors provide a way to undo and redo the last edit, or more.  Often&mdash;especially with older text editors&mdash;there is only one level of edit history remembered and successively issuing the undo command will only "toggle" the last change.  Modern or more complex editors usually provide a multiple-level history such that issuing the undo command repeatedly will revert the document to successively older edits.  A separate redo command will cycle the edits "forward" toward the most recent changes.  The number of changes remembered depends upon the editor and is often configurable by the user.
* Ability to jump to a specified line number.{{Citation needed|date=February 2022}}
