Rename all instances of a variable

So I was helping a team debug their program and I came across the problem that their code had variable names for functions that it shouldn’t be - (ex: for a turning function they had it named ‘drive’.) - and I was wondering if there was a way that I could rename all instances of that variable instead of changing it one by one. :thinking:

The keyboard shortcut ctrl + h allows you to search for certain text and replace it with any string of text

Ctrl+H, enter the word you want to replace in the top bar, enter the word you want to replace it with in the bottom bar, click on “change all occurrences”, done.

Awesome thank both of y’all very much @Odysseus and @computingpotatochips :hugs:

Is there not a “Refactoring” or “Rename” menu or tool of some kind in VEXcode? Most IDEs have such a tool which allows for changing of variable/function/class/whatever names in a more intelligent manner than simple find and replace, in addition to many more advanced refactorings.

It seems it is, I never even thought of checking for that. Thank you so very much.
