GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 659340
Renaming variables and functions
Last modified: 2018-07-10 22:05:37 UTC
Originally filed as http://www.reinteract.org/trac/ticket/43 It should be pretty simple to add a useful name <Right Click>/Rename... if someone wants to rename a NAME token (not following a DOT token), you just scan through the buffer and replace all other copies of the NAME token not following a DOT token. Bonus points: * If the first usage of the token is in an import statement, rewrite 'import <oldname>' to 'import <oldname> as <newname>' * Try to detect usage of the name as local variables and not rewrite those. * If the rename would cause a conflict with other NAME tokens in the buffer not followed a DOT token, warn but allow the user to continue. Misrenaming is not a disaster, the user can always undo and do it manually, so even a rough version is better than nothing.
Reinteract is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes in early 2012: http://git.fishsoup.net/cgit/reinteract/log/ Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
