How to rename a script?

Question

I have a script but I want to change its name. However

If I change it in Project tab (Unity) it gets a complete mess in my project.
The other way is to delete the script and create a new one, but it takes time and later I have to attach it again to every GO it is attached to...

Open the script in Visual Studio
Select the script's name
Ctrl + R twice (Rename)
Check "Rename file" box
Change the script's name
Click on "apply"

The script's name will be changed not only in the script but also in its file in the computer. The name will change automatically when saving the script and returning to Unity.

alt text This change will be applied to all the references in the editor too.

Great! This is the only solution I found so far for Unity 5 and Windows. Thanks a lot!

I dont' see or can't find the "Rename file - box". Any ideas? (osx)

@ngerbens I just did it like he says. There is indeed no "Rename file - box" to check, but it will do it anyway.
