Find and replace text in all rstudio files

Question

I wonder why, however, in Rstudio there is no function to search for all files in the current project (package) and replace the specified text!? Or maybe there is one, and I'm not in the know!

ctrl+shift+f is found only in all files without replacement.

ctrl+shift+j finds and replaces in the current file.

Thanks for the feedback. We have this as a function request, and I will make another request for this.

Answer 2

This is an Rstudio Github improvement related issue:

Feel free to vote (not bad) for a problem to get more attention to it!

Answer 3

I wrote a small RStudio add-in to replace in several files, which can be used until this functionality is included in some newer version of RStudio. Here is a screenshot:

The package is briefly described on my blog .
