iedit VS visual-regexp-steroids.el

Try iedit https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Iedit.

Then, in *rg* buffer, we transform org-link-expand-abbrev into org-link-RENAMED the way we prefer (we have all the Emacs power, some of us might use query-replace, other might use multiple-cursors.el, other iedit, etc.). And so *rg* buffer looks like this:

I've discovered iedit, which allows me to C-; over any string and edit all occurrences of it simultaneously, à la multiple-cursors. The default behaviour is that, by pressing C-; only once, it selects all occurences of the string in the whole buffer. Is there a way to expand the selection to each new match one at a time? For those familiar with, I'm basically trying to replicate Sublime Text's functionality when you Ctrl/Cmd-D over any string.

That is a cool tool. If I can use visual-regexp-steroids.el to manage regex matching in emacs (I need to figure out how to do this if this is even possible), but also I do not understand what I need to change in the variable org-emphasis-regexp-components. The variable is described as the following....

https://github.com/benma/visual-regexp-steroids.el/. There is always a package for what you need in emacs or you can always make your own. This package supports python regex in emacs which supports look ahead/behind and alot of other things.

Note at the bottom of emacswiki.org/[…]/RegularExpression that with python available, you can use visual-regexp-steroids to get access to sufficiently-expressive regexp.

I use visual-regexp-steroids to allow searching and replacing with alternative syntaxes (specifically, PCRE). It really makes the experience better along with visual-regexp itself.

Probably by using pcre2el. There is also visual-regexp-steroids which lets you use python engine as well (aside from pcre2el) and achieve the same thing shown here but interfacing with python.
