Renaming Symbols

To rename a specific symbol in a Qt project:

1. In the editor, place the cursor on the symbol you would like to change and select Tools > C++ > Rename Symbol Under Cursor or press Ctrl+Shift+R.

   The Search Results pane opens and shows the location and number of instances of the symbol in the current project.

   

2. To replace all selected instances, enter the name of the new symbol in the Replace with text box and click Replace.

   To omit an instance, uncheck the check-box next to the instance.

   Note: This action replaces all selected instances of the symbol in all files listed in the Search Results pane. You cannot undo this action.

Note: Renaming local symbols does not open the Search Results pane. The instances of the symbol are highlighted in code and you can edit the symbol. All instances of the local symbol are changed as you type.
