you mentioned [Oh, I see. But that’s not what I want, because this works only with files that have previously been opened. I’m looking for a function that works just like the “Find in files” in TextPad, but allows replacing as well.]

To replace what you can do is this:
1) Start a new “Find in files” Search [i.e. close the current Search Results document if open]
2) Do your “Find in Files” search
3) Right click anywhere in the search results and Choose “Open All” from the the menu that pops up
4) Then do as Michael in Comment #5 indicates. Find and Replace in “All Documents” scope.

Not exactly what you wish [as i do] but works nonetheless!!

“There is a default document class, but that one is only used if no more specific class is found for a file extension, so to make the editor use the Consolas font in all configurations it’s necessary to make the change in many places instead of just one.”
This is not true, I for once, always use a different-than-standard customization not only for the font but also for always stripping the trailing spaces, changing colors, printing header & footer, so the way to do it (is a bit weird, so I have it annotated on my little book) is to:
- Select Menu Configure\Preferences\Document Classes\Default;
- Change all your options as needed, in the Document Class options or submenus Colors, Font, Printing, etc.;
- Check the checkbox “Apply these settings to all document classes”
- Press “OK” or “Apply”
- Now comes the trick: Exit TextPad and start it again. You will see that all options you CHANGED were also changed on all classes. For instance, I usually change font, but do not want to change the Tab size for all classes. So I don’t change it and it remains different for each class.

Hope I helped…

Not too complex and not tooled to the point of confusion with features, it strikes a happy balance between usability and being too slow to keep picking up and putting down.

Being able to edit in hex, rather than just view, would be nice though.
