JavaScript refactoring Renaming a variable

[IndependentCommunity]

Description

Is there a plan to add at least a draft version of variable refactoring for JavaScript to the environment?
I think that when refactoring, a window with drains and checkboxes should be created in advance, where it is suggested to make a replacement, and the user could use checkboxes to choose where to make the replacement and where not. A regular replacement would be suitable for this approach.

Overall the JavaScript editor is lightweight and fast, but it lacks refactoring.

In fact, a lot ready in NetBeans to make refactoring. Look at the code:

I select the const c and the editor highlights it correctly inside the Test1 function. That is, it does not highlight a variable with the same name in another Test2 function. Only needs to add a replacement in the highlighted places by [F2] key.

(Testing was carried out in version 15)

What you are showing the screenshot already works. Place cursor on variable, press "CTRL + r"

Make the modifications to the variable name

Press enter

When NetBeans talks about "Refactoring", it means the potential to rename functions, fields, classes and adjust all call sites throught the whole codebase. The problem here is, that JS has very loose coupling between related files and you can only guess when the same name means the same thing. This only becomes easier with modules, but even the globals exist.
