Description

### Description

Is there a plan to add at least a draft version of variable refactoring for JavaScript to the environment?
I think that when refactoring, a window with drains and checkboxes should be created in advance, where it is suggested to make a replacement, and the user could use checkboxes to choose where to make the replacement and where not. A regular replacement would be suitable for this approach.

Overall the JavaScript editor is lightweight and fast, but it lacks refactoring.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by locating the JavaScript editor and any existing refactoring support in NetBeans. Done would require an agreed scope for variable renaming and a defined replacement-selection workflow, followed by corresponding implementation and tests.
