All the affected code fragments are highlighted and change as you type. If appropriate, additional refactoring options are selected in corresponding option boxes. The in-place refactoring mode is available for the following refactorings: * [Extract Constant](extract-constant.html) * [Extract Field](extract-field.html) * [Extract Parameter](extract-parameter.html) * [Extract Method](extract-method.html) * [Extract Variable](extract-variable.html) * [Rename](rename-refactorings.html)    * In modal dialogs: select this option if you want to use the refactoring dialogs when you refactor code.    |
|  Preselect current symbol name for Rename refactoring  |     If this checkbox is selected, the old name of a symbol is selected in the editor or in the Rename dialog when the [Rename refactoring](rename-refactorings.html)   is invoked for that symbol.            If the checkbox is cleared, the symbol to be renamed is not selected.                    |
|  Show inline dialog for local variables  |  Select this checkbox if you want to display a confirmation dialog for the Inline local variable refactoring.  |

| Autoreparse delay (ms) | In this field, specify the time period after which IntelliJ IDEA starts reparsing the entered text. |
| The 'Next Error' action goes through |      * The problems with the highest priority: select this option to have IntelliJ IDEA pass through the highest priority problems only (for example, errors), when executing Navigate \| Next/Previous Highlighted Error command `F2` (Windows), `F2` (macOS), `F2` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `⌃ Comma` (macOS System Shortcuts), `F2` (XWin), `F2` (GNOME), `F2` (KDE), `F2` (Emacs), `F2` (Sublime Text), `F2` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `F2` (NetBeans), `Alt+Page Down` (Visual Studio), `⌥ Page ↓` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `F2` (Eclipse), `⌘ .` (Eclipse (macOS))/`Shift+F2` (Windows), `⇧ F2` (macOS), `⇧ F2` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `⌃ ⇧ Comma` (macOS System Shortcuts), `Shift+F2` (XWin), `Shift+F2` (GNOME), `Shift+F2` (KDE), `Shift+F2` (Emacs), `Shift+F2` (Sublime Text), `Shift+F2` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `Shift+F2` (NetBeans), `Alt+Page Up` (Visual Studio), `⌥ Page ↑` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `Shift+F1` (Eclipse), `⌘ ⇧ .` (Eclipse (macOS)).    * All problems: select this option to have IntelliJ IDEA pass through all the existing problems (for example, errors and warnings) sequentially.    |
| Suppress with @SuppressWarnings (for 5.0 only) |    Select this checkbox to have `@SuppressWarnings` implemented as an annotation.      Clear this checkbox to have `@SuppressWarnings` implemented as a Javadoc comment.    |
