<p>Yes thank you :) I was having trouble find it also. I think they might be trying to save us from accidentally replacing content in a ton of files we weren't expecting. A bit of a sanity check before doing the replace. They could accomplish the same thing with a warning message with the number of files that will be affected though :p </p>

<p>I'll second that, cheers! I was about to hunt for some sort of plugin to do global search and replace! </p>
<p>I wonder if there is any way to do refactoring across multiple projects, ie. update import statements, references in dependent projects etc?</p>
