intellij-thesaurus

Thesaurus plugin for IntelliJ IDEA and PHPStorm.

It uses Big Huge Thesaurus to lookup synonyms for the word under the current caret or to provide naming suggestions upon renaming.

How to use

There are 2 ways to use this plugin:

  • Upon renaming something
  • Upon selecting anything

Renaming

If you rename anything (a variable, class, method), in the rename modal window, the dropdown now suggests synonyms:

Selection

Upon selecting anything, even a part of word, a new option appears in the Refactor menu:

If that option is used, a list of synonyms is displayed to choose from. Choosing one will replace the selection.
