+##################
+Search and Replace
+##################
+
+Search and replace can be used to replace all instances of a keyword with another form of text.
+To bring up the “Search and Replace” tool, use ``Ctrl+h`` while focused in the editor.
+
+.. note:: If you are using an alternate keyboard shortcut theme, your shortcut might be different.
+
+Enter the search text in the first text entry.
+Enter the replacement text in the second text entry.
+
+.. tip:: The replacement text may contain “regex backreferences” such as ``\1`` and others.
+         See the g_regex_replace_ documentation for more information.
+
+Select “Replace” to replace the next match or “Replace All” to replace all matches.
