When I multi-select in the outline view with control-click/shift-click, I'd like to be able to apply a "change method signature" refactoring to all of the classes at once.

I've seen behavior like this implemented in good MP3 tagging software, where the attributes common across the multiple are shown, and the attributes that differ are blank.  When the user changes a field, it is applied to each of the items selected identically.

For instance, if I want to change multiple methods to private, it would be a one-step operation.  This would be very nice.


Reproducible: Always
