editor.^

Command/Editor, Releases: AP and R83

Toggle wildcard function.

Description

toggles the function of the 'wildcard' search character used in (l)ocate and (r)eplace commands.

Initially, this function is 'on'. When toggled 'off', the '^' is treated as any other character. This allows the 'r' command to look for a literal '^', rather than treating '^' as a wildcard.
