The old unix editors have had rename across project, find references, go to definition/implementation for several years at this point via lsps (the same way vscode gets its functionality).

Those are usually (slightly ecosystem dependent) wrappers around a terminal debugger.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are also wrappers around cli functionality (once again, might be ecosystem dependent). And you're probably just saving yourself the trouble of writing/running a script.

And, in my experience, are vastly more convenient than terminal debuggers alone.
