The example i've given is a good example where find and replace isn't a great option. In fact, you don't want to use find and replace to change a function parameter, because it will be tedious to change all function calls with named parameter accross your call. That's why refactoring tools exist. I agree, that Pycharm find and replace is very nice (especially using regex), but I use it only for modify copy-pasted things with regex, never for refactoring. By the way, I like your "hack", but as you say it's not very fantastic; maybe it deserve an official simplification. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/2FXDQHXSNSTNPEQYM3SCLPDBW6JFQVTY/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
