====Find duplicates.. (Alt+Ctrl+X)====

Searches the selection for duplicate {{defined|lines}}. Works the same way as the {{feature|Unique..}} tool does, but allows more options and choices, affecting behavior and results of the tool:

*{{field|All lines}} - Removes all duplicate {{defined|lines}}, keeping exactly one instance of each original line. The order of resulting {{defined|lines}} remains unchanged and from each two equal lines, the second one is removed. This is identical to the behavior of the {{feature|Unique..}} tool.
*{{field|Only unique lines}} - Removes all {{defined|lines}} that have duplicates, leaving only those {{defined|lines}} that were already unique. The order of resulting {{defined|lines}} remains unchanged.
*{{field|Only duplicated lines}} - Removes all {{defined|lines}} that do not have duplicates, leaving only those {{defined|lines}} that do have duplicates. The resulting {{defined|lines}} are uniqued in the process, thus each resulting {{defined|line}} appears only once in the results. The order of resulting {{defined|lines}} remains unchanged.

{{todo}}

{{example_start}}Result of {{field|Only duplicated lines}}; see example above:
{{example_body}}wood
a woodchuck
chuck

{{example_end}}

The {{field|Count duplicates}} option adds to the result the actual numbers of equal lines. Each resulting line will contain a number of its duplicates, written in brackets before the line.

{{example_start}}Result of {{field|Count duplicates}}; see example above:
{{example_body}}(1) how much
(2) wood
(1) would
(2) a woodchuck
(2) chuck
(1) if
(1) could
{{example_end}}

Additionally, {{field|Ignore case}} option may be specified to {{defined|ignore case}} when matching duplicates. {{field|Leave empty lines}} option may be specified to spare {{defined|empty lines}} from being uniqued to prevent joining of separate {{defined|paragraphs}}.

-Additionally, {{field|Leave empty lines}} option may be specified to spare all {{defined|empty lines}} from being removed, counted or otherwise modified.
