I envy your IDE being able to do a rename of that scale.

I work in a large C++ codebase and a rename like that will actually just crash my vscode instance straight-up.

(There are good automated tools that make it straightforward to script up a repository-wide mutation like this however. But they still generate PRs that require human review; in the case of the one I used, it'd break the PR up into tranches of 50-ish files per tranche and then hunt down individuals with authority to review the root directory of the tranche and assign it to them. Quite useful!)



Yeah VSCode is pretty terrible at refactorings that Jetbrains or Zed will do basically instantly.
