"Change All Occurrences" could be limited to the variable's scope

This may just be an opinion, but would appreciate if you could consider this feature.

The "Change All Occurrences" currently works as a simple find and replace,
it would help workflow if a similar option existed for only changing variables with same name and scope.

Thanks for the great software. 👍

this would be a highly language specific feature... Don't think it will be ever fully possible.

There is the rename feature which does what you are asking for. Today there is rename for quite a few languages like TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, C# etc. Best is to file a request against the language extension you are using
