I wish I would be able to rename a string in the whole doc by just right-clicking it.

So for example, I highlight a variable in my file and right-click to globally rename it.

Right now I need to click Ctrl-H to do so, but need to carefully examine the settings there first that may be set to a dangerous scope of say All Open Documents, so it is a waste of time for me.

I feel overall, I need better refactoring capabilities.

Hi Arthur,

doing sophisticated refactoring rename is not really possible without deep knowledge of the programming language internals.
So in HE itself it can not be done.
With 1.50 you will be able to create a script or macro that will call this two commands in sequence or can do more advanced renaming.

I can think about some kind of the rename with preview and skipping of the comments and strings (optional) but this will not come in near feature.

Best regards,
Alex.
