# Rename

Hotkey: N

The rename command renames the current item. It can be applied to the following things:

* Function
* Local variable
* Global item (function or data)
* Structure field
* Statement label

Normally the item under the cursor will be renamed. If the command is applied to the very first line of the output text and the decompiler cannot determine the item under the cursor, the current function will be renamed.
