IntelliJ IDEA: How to rename variables in multiple places in a file? ~~if you find Shift + F6 does not work...

It is my first time using IntelliJ IDEA for learning Java. While trying to familiarize myself with the tool, one keyboard shortcut took me some time to figure out - how to rename variables that appear in multiple locations in a file.

Refactor/Rename

1. UI: Right Click on the variable, that you would like to refactor, select Refactor, and then select Rename. You will also see the keyboard shortcut there as well.
2. Keyboard Shortcut: As you find additional info in the JetBrains documentation here, you should be able to use the shortcut shift F6 for Mac and Windows.
3. Replace: You can use command r to do either a single replacement or all replacements on the variable you would like to refactor

KEYNOTE - if you are using a MacBook Pro Keyboard, please make sure to use the shortcut shift fn F6 with a fn key.

Hope this helps! Enjoy exploring IntelliJ IDEA! 😆
