IntelliJ IDEA has extensive support for refactoring, see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.1/refactoring-source-code.html What exactly do you want to do? — Wim Deblauwe, Jul 13 '16 at 07:02

EDIT:

Here is the Visual representation for better understanding.

Replacing a piece of text in all the files within the specified path do one of the following:

You can try Ctrl + Shift + F.

And if you are using Eclipse keymap for IntelliJ then you can use Ctrl + H.

For my question it should be Ctrl+Shift+R right? :)) – Supun Wijerathne Sep 06 '16 at 03:41

**Ctrl+Shift+R** is the answer. Then you click *Replace* in the *Replace in Path* dialog box. But here's the bizarre thing: nothing gets replaced! The dialog box closes and a window opens at the bottom part of the screen showing occurrences. Then you need to click the *Replace All* button in that window. Then a new dialog box pops up where you need to click the *Replace* button yet again. **Inefficient UI, poor Ux**. – Paulo Merson Jan 31 '19 at 13:07

For me, worked:

Ctrl + H - To replace all occurrences in a specific file

Ctrl + Shift + H - To replace all occurrences in all files

But I remember I have configured my key map in VSCode style. Also, I am working on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, but it looks unrelated.
