: Is there any InDesign extension that gives Sublime Text 2 like capabilities? I've been working in Sublime Text 2 on my own time to learn web development. Now I'm laying out another book in

The short but unhappy answer is "No," but @plainclothes suggestion to check in with the ID scripting forum is a good one. I'd add that this would be a good item to submit as a feature request to Adobe. Chris Kitchener, the ID Product Manager really does read every single bug report and feature request. It helps the InDesign team pitch the feature to management (and marketing!) if you give a detailed description of the workflow.

I don't know of any extensions that solve this problem. I've always wished there was a backdoor to InD's markup where you could perform edits in a structured way -- obviously, at your own risk ;)

Scripting may provide a little productivity boost for you -- though not as elegant as what you seek. A javascript could grab your selection, ask for your edits, then run the search for you with predefined options. Assign it a keystroke and it's starting to feel almost native! The kind folks over at the InDesign Scripting forum could probably give you a jump start.
