The glorious local variable plugin. Provides extract/detach variable refactoring and API for other plugins to work with variables.

This plugin is part of sublime-enhanced plugin set. You can install sublime-enhanced and this plugin will be installed automatically.

If you would like to install this package separately check "Installing packages separately" section of sublime-enhanced package.

1. Extract variable - create new variable from method call or from selected text

2. Detach variable - destroy variable and replace all usage with what was assigned to this variable

3. Rename variable - expand cursors to all variable occurrences in current method

It also inserts mark so you can come back to location before editing was started by hitting "goto mark" (see "sublime-named-mark" package for keyboard shortcut).

# before
call1(call(|)) # <- cursor here
call2(call())

# after
| = call() # <- cursors here
call1(|) # <- cursors here
call2(|) # <- cursors here

# after typing variable name
variable = call()
call1(variable)
call2(variable)

# before
variable| = call1() # <- cursor here
call2(variable)
call3(variable)

# after
call2(call1())
call3(call1())

# before
call1(variable|) # <- cursor here
call2(variable)

# after
call1({variable}) # <- selections here
call2({variable}) # <- selections here
