You can enter special characters, such as a Tab or Return, in the Find field and Replace field. The IDE considers these special characters while searching for matching text.

Use one of the following techniques to enter special characters into the Find field or Replace field:

• Copy text that includes the special characters, then Paste the text into the desired field
• On IDE hosts that support drag-and-drop operations, drag the text that includes the special characters from the editor window directly into the desired field
• Enable the Regular expression checkbox, then enter \t for Tab or \r for Return in the desired field. Enabling the Regular expression checkbox alters the meaning of the field. See "Find and Replace Using Regular Expressions" for more information.
• (Mac OS) Press Option-Tab to enter a Tab character, or press Option-Return to enter a Return character in the desired field
