Rename string literal values

[maxime1992]

I have interfaces in my app.

Let's take a dog as example :

interface Dog {
  name: string
  id?: number
}

When I post a Dog on the server, I ask the user to give me the dog's name and the server will return an object of Dog type.

So my function to post the Dog only needs his name :

function postDog(name: string) {
   // ...
}

const dog: Dog = { name: 'wouaf' }
postDog(dog.name)

The thing is, if I decide to rename the Dog's name property, my function won't have the parameter renamed. (yes this is pure luxury 💎 and it wouldn't break anything in frontend at least because if my interface matches what the server is expecting ...)

So a collegue (@vnoel) helped me figure that out :

// utility
type Prop<T, K extends keyof T> = { [P in K]: T[P] }

type Doggy = Prop<Dog, 'name' | 'id'>

function f(o: Doggy) {
  console.log(o.id, o.name)
}

f({
  id: 5,
  name: 'wouaf'
})

This is great ! The only thing is that when I use F2 to rename the property (in VSC) :

Would it be possible to auto-rename the property everywhere ?
At least we have an error which is great for now :) But doing that automatically would be 🥇

PS : I think it's related to #7611 and #9257 but a little bit different

This is actually a duplicate of #13690. rename is built on top of find all refs.

This actually looks more like a duplicate of #11997.
