Stop renaming every variable in a project on F2. Look at the class and scope.

[smithcur]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.97.2
• OS Version: Windows 11

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use F2 to rename a class variable.
2. Look at all the classes in your project that it damages.

Description:

vscode replaces every occurrence of a rename (F2) across the project. Please stop doing that or provide a better way to rename member variables. The current way isn't helpful. Is simply corrupts everything else that has the same variable name. You have the intelligence in the application to determine scope and the class the rename should apply to. Use that information to only apply the change to the member of the class for the scope it has. Currently you only change references to the name but not all of the classes that have members with that name. That breaks every one of those classes by disassociating it with its member variable.
