Rename the signature by hand

Explain the practical point behind "The job: Tab helps complete the surrounding edit while you verify the whole effect."

Step 1 of 2

The job: Tab helps complete the surrounding edit while you verify the whole effect. Start with this check: Imports or references resolve after the suggestion. Keep it small enough to check the result yourself instead of taking the summary on trust.

Tab catches the rest of the rename

  1. You already renamed the parameter on the signature. Look — Tab answers with two gray lines at once. Both leftover references want to become items.
  2. Tab accepts the multiline rename. Read every line first — a multiline suggestion is still a suggestion, not a free pass to skip review.
Rename the signature by hand — Tab answers with a multiline fix for the leftover references. Read every gray line before you accept.

Practice next: Try a hand rename yourself, then read every line of the multiline Tab suggestion before pressing Tab.
