The best thing about this is the consistency across languages. Whether I am writing Java,C++,Rust, Go,Javascript, the shortcuts are the same with similar behaviour as much as possible. Shift F6 refactors the variable name. Cmd Alt M refactors a method from a chunk of code. Being able to use this muscle memory across languages is fantastic.

Funny you mention that. As a long-time Windows user, that is the first thing I remap when I set up any JetBrains IDE. F2 is the rename shortcut in File Explorer, so I set it to be the refactor variable name shortcut too.
