How to rename variables on the fly with Visual Studio 2015?

There were so many videos showing off the new "advanced" and "smart" renaming of variables for languagues like C# in VS 2015 (Win 10), like here (under "Renaming improvements"), but for me it doesn't work.

I have ReSharper extension, but I would assume that it should not in any way affect the new renaming features.

Do I have to activate something on preferences? I have been searching everywhere to activate this.

Once you left click and choose Rename a dialog will pop up. Start changing the text and the variable will be renamed to what you want.

Once you are done, click on apply.

  1. Select the variable
  2. Press CTRL + SHIFT + R
  3. Press CTRL + R or choose the Rename option in the context menu
  4. As you change the variable name, you may see the variable references in the whole file/project/solution gets changed.
