Keyboard Shortcut for Refactoring > Rename Item

[zakko]

Is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to "Refactoring > Rename Item"?

If it is currently not possible, it definitely should be. This feature can't be underestimated for coding.

Additionally it should be made a bit smarter:

Currently it is only accessable to enter Refactoring > Rename Item at the variable's declaration. It should be possible throughout the whole variable scope on each appearance of it (at best even global accross packages etc., which is likewise possible in most IDEs for other programming languages).

You can go to Preferences > User Interface / Appearance and define a key for the "Program Window: Refactoring - Rename item" function.

Thanks for help. To suggest another improvment, there should be a way to search for the menu entry, because there are to many of them to scroll through in the key configuration.

Additionally I'd like to keep up my suggestion of my first post, that this variable renaming should work on every appearance of a variable and as another point to it, it should work in Test windows.

In the current PL/SQL Developer version you can enter a (partial) function name in the "Enter filter text" field below the function/key list. If, for example, you enter "refactor" there, you will quickly find the function you need.

True. Thanks for that one. Looks like I was mistakenly stuck at "Search preference" and didn't made it to the bottom of the "Key Configuration" window.
