It is my first time using IntelliJ IDEA for learning Java. While trying to familiarize myself with the tool, one keyboard shortcut took me some time to figure out - how to rename variables that appear in multiple locations in a file.
Refactor/Rename
-
UI:
Right Click
on the variable, that you would like to refactor, selectRefactor
, and then selectRename
. You will also see the keyboard shortcut there as well. -
Keyboard Shortcut: As you find additional info in the JetBrains documentation here, you should be able to use the shortcut
shift F6
for Mac and Windows. -
Replace: You can use
command r
to do either a single replacement or all replacements on the variable you would like to refactor
KEYNOTE - if you are using a MacBook Pro Keyboard, please make sure to use the shortcut shift fn F6
with a fn
key.
Hope this helps! Enjoy exploring IntelliJ IDEA! 😆
