How to replace all without triggering formatter (jlai.lu)

Hi,

I want to replace string in many files, but I the "replace all" feature trigger the formatting hook on save. I do not want this behavior. There is an option similar to "save without formatting", but for "replace all" ?

Thanks

OK, 🤦‍♂️ I didn't think to simply disable the "editor.formatOnSave" option and re-enabling it after. Took me 2 sec

There’s also a “Save without formatting” in the Command Palette

Depending on your setting, opening the command palette will trigger a save with formatting.
