--- Comment #3 from Richard Neill <kde@richardneill.org> ---
Thanks for your suggestion, Kåre.
I agree about regexps being powerful, and I do use them, but it's a bit of a
pain to type one every time I want a simple search. For example, in PHP, for a
variable $x, then I'd need to type (I think): \$\{?x\b while for a variable
$x['y'] I'd need to type in: \$\{?x[("|'|)y\b
(Likewise, for Perl, searching for $a usually also wants to find @a.)
This makes the general process of re-factoring somewhat trickier. Ideally, I'd
like to be able to just select a variable, and find all instances of it (no
matter which variation of the syntax is used).
I realise that this will be harder in some languages than others. It's also OK
to have false positives (eg literal-quoted strings), but not false negatives.
Perhaps the generalisation of this request is for a "refactoring" plugin for
Kate.
