I use pycharm for this and in general it does a great job. At work we've got some massive repos and it'll handle it fine.

The "find" tab shows where it'll make changes and you can click "don't change anything in this directory"

Yes, all of JetBrains' tools handle project-wide renames practically perfectly, even in weirder things like Angular projects where templates may reference variables.

Just be carerul when refactoring variable names in doc comments, I've seen some weird stuff happen there
