Yep. Changing both header and implementation in a C++ project would be nice |

This would be great for scenarios where you want to do a larger "find and replace" but where you can't do it with a simple regex. For example changing multiple test files to meet a new convention / meet best practice. I can envisage a prompt to explain the problem and Copilot could go ahead and make the change to all those files. |

I am using Copilot in a Django project which i try to keep really vanilla. Thus it's using all the basic building blocks and Copilot easily applies the best practices. But i find myself in long sessions of copy paste into different linked files urls.py, models.py, views.py, serializers.py and tests.py etc. So these are simple changes that need to be made in 8+ files every time.
Would be nice to have a
@workspace /edit Add a new field to the Requests model and change all the subsequent related files in the projectthat shows a similar UI like/newand when pressing an Apply changes button it adds the changes.The changes could be reviewed during a commit. If the commit contains breaking changes we could rollback the changes.
Is there in plans to add such a feature? Is there a similar plugin or a command combination that does this or similar?
Thanks for the response!
