For example, if you have a function that has become quite large, you could break it up into multiple smaller helper functions. However, the current implementation only looks in the global environment to see if an object with a given name exists. One could consider two different approaches:

1. A pair of functions, the first has the user highlight a large code block (ie the whole function definition) to establish which symbols are available, and a second that has the user highlight a smaller code block within it (ie the snippet they want to turn into a new function definition).
2. A function that searches the preceding lines until it finds a function definition. This has the potential to take a while if there are a lot of lines though, which to the user would make it seem like their session momentarily froze.

The functions are currently set up to allow for writing unit tests, I just need to do it later at some point

Running the addin with highlighted code in a qmd file triggers an error popup due to the call to reformatCode. Ideally this would be avoided by detecting what type of file the currently open file is, but if the isn't saved (hence having a filepath associated with it) then I'm not sure if this is easy to establish.
