I think it would be great to have extract variable refactoring working like this:

1 - select exrpession
2 - refactor -> extract variable
3 - give a name to the variable
4 - a variable with that name is create above the expression
5 - the expression gets replaced with the variable
6 - other expressions that are replaced too

It's the most common refactoring I want and it seems doable and it's not there. It seems like a low-hanging fruit.

Not there? I am not a Ruby developer so I didn't test it. But for Java it works exactly as you described.
