Notebook change all occurence Only Variable

Change all occcurence in notebook is currently doing a simple find and replace. I rather want to change all occurence of the variable ws. But I can't. The effect is felt everyehere and undesired.

Is there a VS studio Code shortcut equivalent of F2 that lets you change only the variable names. F2 currently does not do anything in notebook

Hi @smpa01,

Currently the online notebook is a light version compute environment, and it did not provide all the feature as the common IDE.
Perhaps you try to use run these code in the 'vscode' to enable the enhanced features to help you coding script.
