Thanks for your thoughts.  I was thinking perhaps an option on the change
dialog that restricted changes to lines with errors so that one knew one
was not dis-improving lines of code that had no errors when fixing compile
bugs thus providing a faster way of interacting with the linting capability.

More generally, I think my example illustrates that it might be useful to
have  a capability where one could first select multiple disconnected
ranges of lines in a number of steps using various techniques and then
perform a series of operations on the selected lines. The lines in the
current selection might be indicated by hilighting the line number of the
selected lines.  Find and change could then be optionally limited to these
lines. Such techniques would be of particular interest to users with big
files as the change everything in the document option of the change dialog
is to dangerous to use without first limiting its scope.
