Refactoring
There are two ”flavours” to refactoring support. Some (just a few) refactorings are made available as Quick Fix suggestions (the light bulb), the rest are regular commands in the Calva Refactoring category.
You can enable or disable the Quick Fix suggestion lightbulb using the VS Code setting editor.lightbulb.enabled.
The refactoring commands do not have default keyboard shortcuts. You find them all by typing ”Calva Refactor” in the Command Palette.

Formatting
The way that some of the refactorings are applied to the document, makes it difficult for Calva to format the results. So, sometimes you'll need to navigate the cursor to the enclosing form and hit tab to tidy up the formatting after a refactoring. See also Formatting.
Thanks to clojure-lsp
Most of Calva's refactoring support is sourced directly from clojure-lsp. This also means that most often, if you find issues with refactoring, or have suggestions about it, the clojure-lsp repo is where to direct your reporting.
