Installation

This plugin is part of sublime-enhanced plugin set. You can install sublime-enhanced and this plugin will be installed automatically.

If you would like to install this package separately check “Installing packages separately” section of sublime-enhanced package.

Features

1. Extract variable - create new variable from method call or from selected text

2. Detach variable - destroy variable and replace all usage with what was assigned to this variable

3. Rename variable - expand cursors to all variable occurrences in current method

It also inserts mark so you can come back to location before editing was started by hitting “goto mark” (see “sublime-named-mark” package for keyboard shortcut).

Usage

Extract variable

# before
  call1(call(|)) # <- cursor here

  call2(|) # <- cursors here

  # after typing variable name
  variable = call()
  call1(variable)
  call2(variable)

Detach variable

# before
  variable| = call1() # <- cursor here
