Extract to function (free function or member function)

[JamesRamm]

Thanks for the great work on this; I am successfully using vscode-cpptools to work on a >2m line Qt project with no hitches so far 👍 😄

Refactoring is a huge task on such a project - support for extracting a method or variable would be great!

I.e select a section of code -> right click -> extract method (keybinding would be great aswell)

Advanced refactoring is highly desired for my workflow. This would bring C++ up to speed with other VS code languages that support the refactoring features listed here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/refactoring

bump - being able to refactor, extract methods and create definition from declaration is incredibly useful for efficiency.

Now that Visual Studio has Refactoring abilities for other languages, any chances to bring it to C++?

extract method, create declaration from implementation and change signature would be a giant plus. Great work on the C++ extension in general though, I am really liking it! Keep up the good spirit!

Moving a function from .h to .cpp (or in the opposite direction) is another example of useful C++ specific refactoring. Some nice C++ refactorings implemented in QtCreator are given here.

@sean-mcmanus Any plan about this recently?
