This package exposes query-replace-many, a function that works like query-replace, only it works on multiple matches; that is, the user can specify multiple (from . to) replacement pairs, and an empty query finalises the selection. For example, in the following, existing occurences of T are replaced by U, and existing ones of U by T:

A blog post, explaining some of the motivation behind the package, is available here.

Installation

With package-vc-install

If you use a recent enough version of Emacs, the built-in function package-vc-install may be used to directly install this package from its remote:

(package-vc-install "https://github.com/slotThe/query-replace-many")
(require 'query-replace-many)
(bind-key "C-M-%" #'query-replace-many)

Even better: vc-use-package provides use-package integration for package-vc-install.

(use-package query-replace-many
  :vc (:fetcher github :repo "slotThe/query-replace-many")
  :bind ("C-M-%" . query-replace-many))

Manually with use-package

Simply git clone the repository somewhere, and then load the package as normal:

(use-package query-replace-many
  :load-path "/path/to/repo/"
  :bind ("C-M-%" . query-replace-many))
