"I'm not trying to bash command line tools" hehe "if you only want to refactor Class1.Foo() method while not changing Class2.Foo()" vim has functionality for scope in most languages (see http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/eval.html#internal-variables http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/eval.html#internal-var...). If vim doesn't have the functionality, it is a one-liner in your config file. Additionally, there are language-specific vim refactoring options such as eclim (eclipse functionality in vim and vice-versa) for java, and rope/bicycle repair man for python edit: on a side note, these religious discussions are great for unearthing great links and cli tricks!
