  2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T to open the list of refactorings:

Preview changes

For some refactorings, you can preview changes before applying them.

  1. Click Preview in the Refactoring Preview dialog:

    Refactoring dialog

  2. Check the changes that are going to be made in the Find tool window. You can exclude Delete or remove Ctrl+X changes that you consider unnecessary.
