This post is part of a series which documents the vim-ruby-refactoring plugin.

IMPORTANT: As well as installing the vim-ruby-refactoring plugin, you must also install the matchit.vim plugin for this refactoring to work.

Rename Local Variable

Renames the selected local variable.

Example

Before refactoring:

Visually select the local variable you wish to rename
Hit your **** then type **rrlv **You will now see a prompt to enter the new variable name: Rename to: is_mac_os

After refactoring:

The local variable mac_os has been renamed to is_mac_os in both locations within the method.

rrlv is the default binding for this refactoring, think Refactor Rename Local Variable.
