Any editor with lookbehind regex search&replace functionality?

Hi,

I would like to use a lookbehind expression in the search&replace function of Kate, but it doesn't seem to work. The previous/next buttons to search become greyed out.

Is there any editor that supports such a functionality?
I tried Geany, but it also doesn't work. :/

Example of a lookbehind expression:
(?<!a)b
