search and replace: "restrict to selected area"

Sometimes it's useful to replace all occurences of a string in a restricted area.

Could you please add an option "restrict to selected area" to provide this feature.

@hogi, with the current backlog we most likely won't get to this in the next release. Changing to not planned for now, but it's still on our list for consideration.

hi @mia_stephens , With the new search options in Workflow Builder v19, is it possible to add a similar option to JSL editor to restrict search & replace to the current selection?
