Context menu in JS files is missing Refactor|Rename (or simple Rename) item. The only way to rename is to use Ctrl+R Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201209110001) Java: 1.7.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.3-b01 System: Linux version 3.2.0-30-generic-pae running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
just a small comment: If you want to use Instant Rename (aka the only supported refactoring in JS files now), you have to do it via Ctrl+R. Which is the shortcut assigned to Refactor-Rename. If I compare it to PHP and likely JavaSE projects, the behavior is similarly "mixed". If you place cursor inside a variable and use Ctrl+R, instant rename is invoked although Ctrl+R is in context menu assigned to Refactor-Rename and if you use this context menu, the resulting action is different that the one comming from Ctrl+R.
Will Rename and Find Usages from the main menu be supported in JS files?
