I would like to "find" and "replace all" in only one cell. Is this possible? For instance if I have an expression common to many cells, and I want to avoid having to replace it also in other cells, how would I "find &replace all" it without having to worry about other cells?

Is there a way to add a button on ctr+F panel?

    $\begingroup$ The cheapest solution is to copy the cell to another notebook :) . I think you can make the question a bit more specific, for example, what do you need? A function e.g. replaceInPreviousCell[a->b]? A panel for this task? Or even a new button in the Ctrl+F panel ? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Your final suggestions are all very much suggestive! But your first one is definitely convincing. :) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Put a cursor before the cell -> find next -> replace and find next untill outside the cell. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Kuba this is what I would like to avoid. My cell is enormous... $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I see, do you want a general solution or do you want to replace specific symbol? Like myFunction and not e.g. whatever[expression, {could be there}] $\endgroup$
