Vscode-java: Feature Request: Assign return value to new variable

[jcjolley]

One of my favorite Netbeans features is creating a new variable (correctly typed) from the return value of an expression. The addition of this feature would greatly help ease my transition to VSCode for Java.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Is there any progress on this issue?

@jcjolley @KaRkY The extension has provided the quick fix extract to local variable feature for return value. The quick fix bulb will appear when the cursor stops at the bracket (). The keyboard shortcut is ctrl + .

Did this resolve your issue?

@testforstephen yes that solves it for me.
