Split variable in Ida Pesudo Code

Question

Sometime the meaning of variable has been changed on the function.

For example from Ida pseudo code:

a = price
....
a= tax....

In the beginning of function a was price and after that a is tax.

How can I split a to 2 different variable so I can rename this variable in Ida Pro

Shift+F or right-click on the variable and then choose "Force new variable".

Shift+F7 open segment tabs. And there is no Force new variable option while right click on variable

I fixed the shortcut. BTW as you can see from the documentation, it's the built-in function to do this and note that: "Currently, only aliasable stack variables can be forced."
