How I can replace text with regular expressions with PLSQL Developer

How I can replace text with regular expressions?

Text to find: ^(\w+),
Replace with:

ld.$1 :new.$1

I want that $1 was replaced with founded within brackets.

like in Perl: s/^(\w+)/

ld.$1 :new.$1/

The replace text cannot contain regular expressions. The text will be replaced as is. You are not the first to ask though, so this is definitely on our to-do list.

In some situations a Macro may help you out.

Is this still true to this day? Apparently not a high priority, but a glaring defect.
