Rename.nvim

Rename variable made easy.

Why?

It's fast and intuitive, while not listen to any of Cursor & TextChange events at all.

Start partial replace by <C-d>.

Start replace in current buffer by <C-a>.

Start project wide replace by mapping to <Plug>(rename-search-replace)

Be sure to check out :h rename-nvim for full features.

Work flow

• Press <C-a> or <C-d> in normal mode to active.
• Optional use n N o O to navigate.
• Optional use <C-d> to toggle selection.

• Press <esc> or save/leave buffer or insert none keyword to exit.

Note: You're free to move your cursor after active rename and text change.
