This plugin is designed as the "replace" part of kakoune's "find & replace" workflow.
Special thanks to occivink for creating kakoune-find where this was implemented. (I just changed and trimmed it to my preference)
(I now typically use grug since it handles large grep-buffers and a higher volume of files and changes better)
