In C++ code you can easily rename classes/attributes/methods in the whole project by right-clicking an occurrence of it and selecting "Rename <current name of class/attrib/method>". This feature is missing in the PHP plugin. It would be very nice to have this feature in PHP, too. Reproducible: Always
Confirmed. Just doesn't work here. You actually get the 'Rename ...' popup, but after accepting it nothing happens.

Git commit f68154391a30139a8763c09fe1d103ab13565479 by Heinz Wiesinger, on behalf of Hugues Mitonneau. Committed on 28/12/2019 at 09:24. Pushed by wiesinger into branch 'master'. Fix rename of a variable Summary: Renaming a variable doesn't work. This is because in `KDevelop::DocumentChangeSetPrivate::generateNewText`, `rangeText(change.m_range, textLines)` return the value `$oldname` and `change.m_oldText` has the value `oldname` This patch modify the parser to remove the "$" in the range of variable identifiers. As a result, we can now rename a variable, but as a side effect, the "$" is no more highlighted with the variable (the "$" are always blue, and do not take color of the variable) {F7788333} {F7788334} {F7788335} Test Plan: Right-click on a variable Select "Rename xxx..." Choose a new name and click "Rename" All the occurrences of the variable must be renamed FIXED-IN: 5.5.0 Reviewers: pprkut Reviewed By: pprkut Subscribers: pprkut, kdevelop-devel Tags: #kdevelop Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D25587 M +98 -0 codegen/refactoring.cpp M +17 -0 codegen/refactoring.h https://commits.kde.org/kdev-php/f68154391a30139a8763c09fe1d103ab13565479
