Research direction

The issue requests support for symbol renaming via the LSP textDocument/rename method in atom ide ui. However, the repository is archived under facebookarchive, indicating no active development. To explore this, one could look at how other Atom packages handle LSP rename, or check if the functionality was implemented in a fork. The issue has no assignees or linked PRs, and the discussion is minimal. Any work would require understanding the existing atom ide ui architecture and integrating with a language server that supports rename.
