Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 9, 2017 #1 The next version of B4J (and all other B4X tools) will include the very first refactoring feature: Rename To. It makes it simple to rename global and local variables, subs and type fields. It works as an extension to the useful Find All References tool. First you find the references and then you can rename the identifier name: It will correctly change the name in all relevant modules. Another new feature is the ability to replace from the Quick Search tool. The idea is similar, you search for something and see all results and then you can then replace them: You can choose whether to replace in the current selected text, current module or all modules.

LucaMs Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 10, 2017 #6 Very useful and very desired. In the gif you can see that it is also a special implementation: it also renames routine called by CallSub and CallSubDelayed. Great! Upvote 0

Rusty Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 22, 2017 #13 When I touch F7 or search, there is no option to rename. Am I doing something wrong? I'm using version 6.80 Thanks Rusty Upvote 0

LucaMs Expert Licensed User Longtime User Apr 22, 2017 #18 B4J allow you to rename "identifiers" (variable, routine names), B4A does not (now... soon, I think) Upvote 0

Daestrum, Can you describe how you get this to work? I highlight a variable, touch F7 and all I get is the list of occurrences and no options to change it... Thanks to all Rusty Upvote 0

Daestrum Expert Licensed User Longtime User Apr 22, 2017 #20 I was incorrect and corrected my posting - it does NOT work on B4A I didn't look close enough when I tried, due to so many variables being displayed in the find all page. Sorry if I misled you. Upvote 0
