Neovim search replace & Debian DRM
Thought of the day
What are the options for search and replace text in Neovim?
Sometimes error messages are missleading...
Neovim Search and Replaceλ︎
Known options
g m Awill match text under curor allowing in-place editing with visual-multi plugin:%substituevim-style search and replace (I find this fiddley and not reliable, although could be user errror)- Clojure LSP for symbols, etc.
Use a visual select to search and replace, with confirmation
Note: '<,'> is automatically included when in visual mode and : is pressed to start a command

:cdo neovim commandλ︎
Telescope can generate a quickfix list, showing the results of pattern matches across the current project files. Then use search and replace on the quickfix list to make changes across the project.
Space f w search for a word across a project
Ctrl q opens the quickfix list
Use :cdo command to search and replace in the quickfix list
Including the c option to confirm each replacement (using a noice popup when using Practicalli AstroNvim-config)

Debian Linuxλ︎
Firefox ESR has DRM disabled by default, so streaming video sites like Amazon Prime and Netflix will show errors
Enable DRM for streaming video sites
Open Settings > General
Scroll down to Play DRM Content option and ensure it is checked.
Amazon Prime shows an error describing how to enable the Widevine Content Decryption Module, however this plugin will not show in the about:plugins until the Settings > General > Play DRM Content option is checked.
Thank you.
