• Concatenate Strings
• Conditional to Case
• Create Multi-variable Declaration
• Create Overload
• Create Setter Method
• Create With Statement
• Expand Assignment
• Expand Ternary Expression
• Extract Method
• Flatten Conditional
• For to ForEach
• ForEach to For
• Initialize Conditionally
• Inline Recent Assignment

• Inline Temp
• Inline With Statement
• Introduce Local
• Introduce Local (replace all)
• Introduce Result Variable
• Line-up Arguments
• Line-up Parameters
• Move Declaration Near Reference

• Spell Checker

Also, we're working to improve our refactoring support for the 10.2 release. We've also recently improved Quick Nav to make navigating to JavaScript functions as easy as navigation in C# or VB. This improvement will ship in 10.2 but is available now for CodeRush customers in a daily build.
