I’m currently using view.replace(_, region_name, string_name) in two different places: inside a TextCommand run and inside Event Listener on_load_async. First works fine, second gives "cannot find global variable “_” " error.
It looks like I can’t get edit parameter anywhere outside TextCommand class. That means I cannot use view.replace anywhere but in TextCommand.
So the question is, am I right? Do I have to create a TextCommand routine and move all the replace code there from EventListener?
Using edit parameter in view.replace

correct, all changes to the buffer must be done as part of a TextCommand, where the edit object is active
