Can the developers of Godot get the F2 Feature of VSCode to Godot’s Text Editor? For rc4 or release. Pleaaseee!

What does F2 do in Visual Studio Code?

Anyway, feature requests should be submitted here:

F2 feature is to select a variable press F2 and type new name, and everywhere the variable is used the name is updated

There’s an open proposal tracking this:

**Describe the project you are working on:** N/A (generic issue) **Describe th…e problem or limitation you are having in your project:** Renaming a variable in a script causes references to it in other script to be broken. **Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation:** When renaming a variable, it should refactor/rename references too. **Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudocode, mockups, and/or diagrams:** Quoted from original issue: When renaming any kind of object in Godot, it should find all occurrences in scripts/editor and change that as well. This can be achieved by parsing script files, any matching names for the changed scene/node, like "load(), preload(), set_script() get_node()..etc!) functions. This should apply too to renaming variables, it would be great if when renaming a variable in script it changes all occurrences in the script file. **If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?:** Nope. (Also I assume it will be used more often the bigger and more complex projects are) **Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?:** Has to be done in script editor for variables use case, and in the editor itself (possibly Fix Dependencies dialog) for other use case.
