[vsfeedback]

Given

public void Add()
{
    var radius = 1.23;

    var area = 3.14 * radius * radius
}

When

"Quick Actions and Refactorings" menu is opened and "Extract Local Function" is selected

Then

public void Add()
{
    var radius = 1.23;
    NewLocalFunction();

    void NewLocalFunction()
    {
        var area = 3.14 * radius * radius;
    }
}

Your suggestion has been queued up for prioritization. Feature suggestions are prioritized based on the value to our broader developer community and the product roadmap. We may not be able to pursue this one immediately, but we will continue to monitor it up to 90 days for community input

To clarify, is this request specifically for providing an option for the extracted method to be local as opposed to the current extract method refactoring? Would you prefer both options to appear in the Quick Actions drop down all the time or only in a specific context? I appreciate any details that help explain your preferred experience.

The request is specifically for providing an additional option for the extracted method to be local in addition to the current extract method refactoring. Both options appearing in the Quick Actions if the code to extract is inside a regular method and not already in a local function is my preferred experience.

@jinujoseph do we have any plans to enable this in the near future? I find myself wishing for this every few days.
