There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.
-- Phil Karlton

Hopefully this extension will help with naming at least.

Right-click on any word in the code editor window and expand the 'Synonyms' menu.
Click on a synonym from the list and it will replace the originally selected word.

Handles words is many contexts:

  • Camel / Pascal cased names
  • Underscore separated names
  • Literal strings
  • Comments

When replacing a word with its synonym the original casing style is matched.

Uses a web service to find synonyms, so an internet connection is required.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.
