Description Nick Levinson 2015-06-13 20:24:23 UTC 
Please deduplicate alt-keys. Alt-w is used for both the "Replace with" field and the "Wrap around" checkbox. I suggest the latter be changed to alt-d. Alt-r is used for both the "Replace" button and the "Match as regular expression" checkbox. I suggest the latter be changed to alt-x. The latter reportedly was fixed (see bug 729516) but my Fedora 20 Linux has automatic updates and I don't see the fix in place. I have gedit 3.10.4.
