Anybody know of a plugin / IDE that offers refactoring when you paste (e.g. extract method). Think this would be a UX that many programmers would benefit from.

@nextofficial Yes, they were bought in store

@nextofficial Very disappointed in the quality of these children’s shoes! Fallen apart in a couple of weeks and I can’t get a refund or exchange even with a bank statement as proof of purchase.
