Ctrl-R is a hotkey for Refactor/Rename according to a popup menu, but pressing Ctrl-R does not bring up rename dialogue
Comment 1 Marian Mirilovic 2013-11-13 12:51:52 UTC 
Please attach messages.log file and reopen. Thanks in advance.
Comment 2 Jiri Prox 2013-11-13 13:22:27 UTC 
Ctrl-R is shortcut for Rename in general, so it may invoke heavyweight Refactoring Rename or just simple inline rename (indicated only by color boxes in editor) if it is suitable.

It also depends on the location where was focus when the short cut was invoked - if it was project view or editor. In the second case it is also important what code element was selected.
Comment 3 ajeh 2013-11-13 15:14:19 UTC 
Don't include shortcut info in in popup menu then if it does not apply. It's misleading.
Comment 4 Jiri Prox 2013-11-13 15:23:22 UTC 
The shortcut is correct - ctrl-R = rename (the IDE will decide which one is suitable)
Comment 5 ajeh 2013-11-13 19:34:25 UTC 
Yes, but nothing happens when Ctrl-R is pressed. No refactoring occurs.
Comment 6 Jiri Prox 2013-11-14 10:21:13 UTC 
Ok, then please attach messages.log and describe the where was the focus/cursor when you've invoked the shortcut.
Comment 7 ajeh 2013-11-14 16:38:30 UTC 
Just open any java source, highlight any variable and press Ctrl R. Your hands should not fall off if you took that little effort. I don't have any messages.log lying around.
Comment 8 Jiri Prox 2013-11-14 23:10:15 UTC 
Of course we've tried it many times for different configurations & platforms & jdk version and we didn't encounter such problem. Please attach messages.log (located in {userdir}/var/log/) for further investigation. Also fragment of the problematic code is welcomed.
Comment 9 ajeh 2013-11-16 00:33:37 UTC 
Once again: this issue is for not bringing up refactor/rename dialogue upon pressing Ctrl-R.

Inline renaming that you are referring to is not the same as refactoring via refactor/rename dialogue as inline renaming does not have an option to apply refactoring in the comments.
