Extract Variable Dialog

Refactor | Extract Variable

Generally, this dialog is used to extract new variables. Depending on the language, there may be additional options, for example:

• In Java, you can declare the new variable final.

  To make this dialog accessible for Java, you have to disable in-place refactoring in the editor settings.
