Right-click on a word (that isn't a variable/label etc) and press Rename (Ctrl+R) throws a NullPointerException. Clearly that is not supposed to happen and instead just do nothing is one option but another option is to map the Rename to a Replace (Ctrl+H) if it is not a variable which could be what the user mean by renaming a natural language word. Just a thought.
Created attachment 76407 [details] Stacktrace from when pressing rename on a word.
I have fixed the NPE: http://kenai.com/projects/nblatex/sources/mercurial/revision/384 I will keep this report open to think about the fallback to search&replace, although I am not sure if this is doable at all. Thanks for the report.
