I'm writing an article on refactoring in RB, and I'd like to include the feedback IDs for assisted refactoring tools. Here are the ones I know about (most of which I just filed):

akheejyo        general automated refactoring request
kmbxrrmj        Extract Method
fmofovyr        Rename
ctdasirp        Pull Up and Push Down
kcsogqqv        Add Parameter
xvdanwpv        Link overridden methods together for editing purposes

If you have any other specific refactorings you'd like to see, please file them, and if you send me the feedback IDs in the next 6-8 hours, I'll include them in my article.

Oh, and in case you're wondering why the general request (akheejyo) doesn't cover it, it's because it's too general. It's a wildly popular request, but one that can never really be completed, because it's not asking for something specific. I think the RS team prefers to work on well-defined requests that have a clear "OK, that's done now" point. So, while the general request is useful as a sort of gauge of interest, specific requests are more likely to actually get implemented.

That last one, xvdanwpv, isn't a refactoring tool in the strict sense, but it's certainly related. It's also important enough that I'm going to describe it in a separate post.

Thanks,
- Joe
