Answer a question

I can use the normal F2 rename variable functionality in regular python files in vscode. But not when editing python in a jupyter notebook.

When I press F2 on a variable in a jupyter notebook in vscode I get the familiar change variable window but when I press enter the variable is not changed and I get this error message:

No result. No result.

Is there a way to get the F2 change variable functionality to work in jupyter notebooks?

Here's my system info:

Notice that you put up a bug report in GitHub and see this issue: Renaming variables didn't work, the programmer replied:

Some language features are currently not supported in notebooks, but we are making plans now to hopefully bring more of those online soon.

So please wait for this feature.
