I don't think replacements on a textual basis make much sense: 1. methods are only a few lines of code, thus limiting the usefulness of such replacements 2. besides renaming temporaries, most renames should be applied to other methods as well. For instance inst-var renames, or method renames.. Though I would like to see on-the-fly variable renaming. For instance as soon as you start typing on the name of the variable definition it will automatically rewrite all the other accesses to that variable in the current method. But for that we need a decent AST-based text editor. So unless you are a pro-pharo-shortcut user, think about the time you loose otherwise by point-and-clicking with your mouse ;), a little search and replace dialog interaction won't add too much :) best cami
