Announcing (60 days until the San Jose conference):

Script Editor Refactor Plugin
    Brings refactoring support to the LiveCode Script Editor.
    Place the plugin into your user Plugins folder.
    After launching the script editor there will be a new Refactoring menuItem in the Edit menu.     The Refactoring menuItem will also appear in the contextual menu of the Script Editor.     The Refactoring menu is inspired by the JetBrains refactoring support in RubyMine, etc.

Rename Handler
    Allows you to rename in just the current script or all scripts in the stack.

Rename Variable
    Both Rename Handler and Rename Variable change all uses of the object.

Convert Literal To Constant
    Creates a constant for the selected literal value.
    For instance, converts the string literal "hello" to
    constant kHello = "hello"
    and changes all references of "hello" to use kHello, i.e.,
      put kHello into tVariable
    instead of
      put "hello" into tVariable

Change Signature
    Change the parameter list for a command or function.
    For instance, change "myCommand pKey" to "myCommand pKey, pValue"
    Modifying parameters will modify calls to the handler in all scripts in the stack.

Safe Delete
    Only deletes the handler/variable if nothing is using it.
    Otherwise you get a warning specifying where it's used.

Move Handler To
Copy Handler To
    These allow you to select a new home for the selected handler.

Create Getter and Setter
    Allow external access to a script local variable.
    The handlers will be named after the variable name:
    local ArrayName
    becomes
      command setArrayNameTo pValue
    and
      function ArrayName()

Add Documentation
    Creates documentation for a handler in the form
    /**
    * HandlerName
    * parameters
    * Returns (if a function)
    * returnValues
    */
    The documentation format is stored as a custom property template and can be modified if desired.

Add Test
    Adds a template unit test for the selected handler to a file in the same folder as the stack.
    The file has the same name as the stack with the ".tests" extension.
    The tests file is intended to be run using Ah, Software's TestRunner unit testing stack.
    The unit test format is stored as a custom property template.
    Modifying it will probably cause it to cease functioning.

Convert Global To
    Script Local
    Getter and Setter
    Property

Convert Variable To
    Script Local
    Parameter
    Property

Extract To
    Creates a new handler from the selected block of code in the current script.

Find Orphan Code
    Displays a list of unused local variables and uncalled handlers.
    Double-click a list item to select it in the script editor.

Undo Last Refactor
    There's a full undo first-in-last-out stack mechanism for those oops moments.     Issues a warning if you attempt to undo changes already saved to disk.

Go Back (contextual menu only)
    Not strictly part of a refactoring process, but since I was reworking the Edit menu anyway...     After a "Go to definition" call, this gets you back to where you were.
