Sublime Text 2 plugin: Ruby Extract Method

A lightweight plugin that creates a method from the highlighted text and saves it to your clipboard.

Shortcut Keys

Windows / OSX / Linux:

• ALT+M - Extract Method

How to perform the Extract Method refactoring in a Ruby file.

1. Select the block of code you wish to put into a method and hit the Shortcut Key (Alt+M)
2. Name the method
3. Hit Enter
4. Move your cursor to where you want to put the method, and hit Shift+Ctrl+V (paste with indent)

Hint: You can also redefine Ctrl+V as paste_with_indent, which will make this plugin a little more intuitive.
