I do not think that you can get this with the live update, but you can  
bind a macro to do "Prefixing" operations, and there you can have the  
macro raise a dialog to prompt for the text once. That hides away any  
search and replace things.

You can also use a UNIX filter. I have also done a keyboard recording for  
this sort of thing.
