<para>When regular expressions are enabled, you can select part of the searched text by enclosing it
within parenthesis. Placeholders allow you to insert such text in the replacement string, similar to
how backreferences are used in sed. When enabled, any occurrence of <keycap>\N</keycap> (where
<keycap>N</keycap> is an integer number, e.g. \1, \2, ...) will be replaced
with the corresponding string capture (parenthesized substring)
from the search pattern. A button for listing all available string captures
will also be enabled. You can click on any of the available string captures
