Could we have the "Inline Method" refactoring, please?
https://refactoring.com/catalog/inlineMethod.html

It can be very useful, also as part of larger refactorings, like removing "primitive obsession" (see http://dev.solita.fi/2013/03/01/refactoring-primitive-obsession.html for some an example).

Also, "inline variable" or "inline constant" could be useful:

const double triple = val*3;

double x = doSomething(triple);

// Turns into
double x = doSomething(val*3);

Basically, they would be the opposite of Extract Method and Introduce Variable.

We are looking to add an inline refactoring command at some point:

case=1493

We are also looking to add a refactoring command to inline a local variable or constant:

case=31485

For now, Find References can help you with this, since you can quickly and easily see all of the references you want to update / replace.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to having them available!

Yes, I know some workarounds, but some tooling help would be great!

Unfortunately I don't currently have an estimate for when we will try adding these refactoring commands, but they are on our list of features to add.

Are these refactorings still in the To-do list? It's been a long time...

They are both still on the list, and haven't been forgotten. Unfortunately they aren't feature requests that many of our users seem that interested in, which isn't helping to prioritise them. We have a lot of outstanding feature requests, plus new versions of Visual Studio to support, and somehow need to prioritise which things to do first, and user interest is part of that calculation.
