Multi-Select ?
e-TextEditor has a 'multi-select' editing mode, where you can select multiple text regions (using ctrl-select), then edit them all at once.
It's handy for changing a bunch of variable names all at once - I find it much faster than standard find/replace for small edits.
Does RubyMine have a similar 'multi-select' editing mode ??

OK I found it - 'rename refactoring' - works a bit differenet than multi-select i am used to - but still works great.
Hi Andy,
That's right—rename refactoring is the answer!
Good to know you've found it.

OK - I've used 'rename refactoring' a bit more.
It works fine to rename a variable within a method.
But it doesn't seem to work on symbols within a method. Nor does it seem to work on method names, ERB text, .features text...
Am I missing something?? Is there a simple technique to do fast renaming of symbols/text? (other than search and replace...)
RubyMine developers - check out the multi-select editing behavior of e-texteditor - it really is excellent. (just select multple regions with ctrl-select, then type)
May be easier to select one region and that select "replace all" action?
