If I understand what you want correctly, can you try to select the superclass, then refactor class&gt;&gt;create subclass. You give the name and then you select all subclasses that you want to set as subclasses of the new class.<br>

<br>Is it right ?<br><br clear="all">Laurent <br>

Hi Lukas - sorry to keep this thread going, ��but I don&#39;t quite understand what you mean? Partly I think the issue is that over the years I&#39;ve become very familiar with the Eclipse/IntelliJ refactorings (and how they approach things) and I&#39;ve slowly forgotten how they work in smalltalk (although - in Dolphin they seem to more closely match Eclipse/IntelliJ - adding to my confusion in Pharo).<br>


<br>
To give some context, I had a class X, then I copied it to create class Y - made some changes and got something useful working. However X and Y are mostly the same - so deserve a superclass. This sounds to me like standard Refactor Class | Create Superclass refactoring (available in the context menu). Is this what you are referring to? (And this is a seaside30.rc image). Is this the create class refactoring you are referring to? It doesn&#39;t sound like it?<br>


<br>
The one I am referring to just asks me for a name of a superclass and shows me the method changes it will make (and I can remove those which I don&#39;t deem common) - but they only apply to the single class I ran the refactoring for - say X. This then leaves me with Y which still needs work. ��I was expecting somewhere where it would ask me if there are any other classes to consider for the refactoring (or better still - let me multi-select several classes before I do the &quot;create superclass&quot; in the first place - which apparently is very hard in Pharo for some reason?).<br>


<br>
So is there some other browser, or menu option that I am missing?<br>

Good point. I&#39;ve been struggling with multiple selection too e.g. when<br>
setting the refactoring scope. There&#39;s an entry called &quot;selection...&quot; but<br>
since I&#39;ve never been able to select more than one item from a list,<br>
selecting &quot;selection...&quot; has the same effect as ���category&quot; (when in a<br>
category list of course).<br>

<br>
So is there some way of applying a refactoring to more than one class? What<br>
is that refactoring scope menu item - is there some way to specify 2 or more<br>
classes in there? Why is this so hard?<br>

<br>
The refactoring scope is something completely different. It selects<br>
the part of the system that is considered by a refactoring.<br>
<br>
Did you ever try to go through the whole create-class refactoring? I<br>
get a dialog that offers me to select multiple classes.<br>
