Hi! I'm new here.

I've defined a parameter n at the beginning of the file and now I have decided to rename it. The problem here is there are many parameters that are expecting the n to be renamed as well in their own formulas. It will be tedious to revise them one-by-one. I wonder if there is a way to rename every n parameter easily. Thank you for your answers in advance.

Parameters in formulas are just wild arguments. You just assign at the point of use.

You can edit the .sm file with a text editor and try some smart search/replace. Probably you need regular expressions as otherwise e.g. search string "n" will have lots of spurious matches.

Within SMath, there is at least a search function (no replace yet).

Within a particular region, press F8 when cursor is on a name in order to edit all instances of that name in the given region.

In a region, you can use the F8 key an you'll be able to rename all local variables/functions at once.

Globally, you can do it with the Text Region Utilities plugin.

Thank you all for smart solutions.

F8 key does not support Some instances: example in multiple plot argument.
In that case you have to rename all plot arguments.
