Please file a Request For Enhancement in the bug tracking system.
you can however select a tab and then choose Edit, Replace and thick black
vertical line should be shown in the dialog (you can also cut and paste
it)
nothing i can do about paragraph marks tho'
when you are filing that request in bugzilla,
i'd appreciate if you added line breaks to the list
of escape characters that you can use in Find/Replace,
there have been quite a few times where it would have been useful.
