Settings of the Rename dialog
Use this dialog to rename elements such as files, directories, variables, methods, parameters, types, interfaces, packages, tables, or columns.
In addition to renaming the selected element itself, GoLand can also search for usages of its name. If found, the changes that you make to the selected element name can also be applied to these usages.
The usages are grouped into categories that correspond to options you can enable or disable.
