Find and Replace - Text

It would be great to have a generic "find and replace" inside the edit menu like most text editors have. What would be even better is if you could select the find and replace function to use the current art board, or all art boards. This is super helpful if you're mocking up redundant content that has a slight name change between screens.

Yes, please. I'm tired of copy/paste when I need to edit a lot of text strings.

Huge product hole especially when used in large corporate settings with large projects.

This is needed for taxonomy changes that involve many different elements across artboards.

This is a must-have feature. Especially with my clients :) It would be awesome to do on a global, page-level (multiple artboards).
