# ez-query-replace

[![MELPA](http://melpa.org/packages/ez-query-replace-badge.svg)](http://melpa.org/#/ez-query-replace)

ez-query-replace is a simple wrapper around `query-replace` that adds

a default search term, and allows you to conveniently replay old

replacements.

## Usage

### Default text

![query replace default](query_replace_default.png)

In the screenshot above, you can see `M-x ez-query-replace` offering the

symbol at point by default.

**Tip**: You can use `M-p` (bound to `previous-history-element`) to

access the text you're replacing. This great when you want to replace

"fooba" with "foobar".

### Replaying previous replacements

![query replace choice](query_replace_choice.png)

In the screenshot above, `M-x ez-query-replace-repeat` offers previous

replacements with completion. I'm

using [swiper](https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper) here but ido and

helm work too.

## Changelog

### v0.5

ez-query-replace-repeat now reorders history, making it easier to

replay common replacements.

Fixed crash on replaying replacements.

### v0.4

ez-query-replace is now smarter about setting the initial value of

point when you are replacing the value at point.

We also now support helm/ivy/whatever your favourite completion

engine is.

If point is midway through a replacement string, we now correctly

replace it.

### v0.3

If the region is active when ez-query-replace is called, we deactivate

it after reading its contents. The active region just gets in the way

when you're replacing values.

### v0.2

Improved the minibuffer prompt: say what we're replacing when we do

the replacement.

### v0.1

Initial release.
