After working in Functional for a while, I’ve noticed the find and replace feature being used often. However, the find and replace is not the best in many cases.

I am requesting for the Functional IDE to have tools for code refactoring. The first thing that comes to mind is renaming scrips and variables. For example, refactoring a script would adjust the code for each “run” statement calling the script. Furthermore, refactoring a variable would adjust it in the entire script. Generally speaking, what comes to mind for these features is the refactoring tools common place in most Java IDEs.
