Research direction
Locate the Find/Replace dialog implementation in the Eclipse Platform UI codebase, specifically the text input handling for the search and replace fields. Modify the input processing to interpret common escape sequences like \n and \t as literal newline and tab characters before performing the search operation. Add or update tests to verify that escape sequences are correctly converted.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Sometimes one likes to "fixup" things, e.g. replace <tab> by <space> and under Linux GEdit it has support for \n and \t to be treated as a literal tab or newline.
In general this works with find replace, but one has to copy such character from somewhere as one can't type it into the box itself as the keybindings itself are already used (e.g. enter -> search, and tab -> switch to next input field).
