Search & replace symbol delta

#1

How should I replace the symbol \delta with the partial derivative symbol in math mode? I wasn’t able to figure out the wildcards. If I enter the delta symbol in math mode, it highlights the whole expression, but I only want to replace the delta symbol not the whole expression.

I am able to replace the symbol \delta. Please take a look at the screenshot.

In case it still is not possible for you, can you give more detail?

This is not a very elegant way, but if everything else fails, then you can open the .tm file with a text editor and replace it there.

E.g. a file with the two symbols…

would look like this in a text editor:

<TeXmacs|2.1.4>

<style|generic>

<\body>
  <math|\<delta\>> <math|\<partial\>>
</body>

<\initial>
  <\collection>
    <associate|page-medium|paper>
  </collection>
</initial>

You can then replace \<delta\> with \<partial\> (Usually with CTRL+H).

Of course, only do this, if search and replace inside TeXmacs doesn’t work.
