Shortcut for Quick Rename in the actual line (no new window)
Shortcut for Quick Rename in the actual line (no new window)
For ages I've been looking for a shortcut to do a Quick Rename without opening the Quick Rename window.
I want to rename the file in the actual line (no change of position, no eye movement necessary).
I don't want the Quick Rename window to pop up.
AFAIK, the only way to achieve this is to click on the file name.
But I _do not_ want to use my mouse.
Has this shortcut been implemented yet?
Does anybody have a solution?
If not, can you please implement a shortcut for this?
Many TIAs

This F2-popup window is not bad for me, ..yes sometimes if i come back from
other file manger (sorry Jan ) it wondering me a lil bit for the first times
But we have the advantage to use older names to modify and reuse (to bad i didn't use that.)
My feature / improvement request would be
to highlight the hole name (in the "F2 popup dialog") without the DOT and the extansion.
i.e. highlight the
_____________
| NamePart.ext |
only.
I gues the most times we rename the name part only
and let the extension be the same ?

Sorry, but I don't understand your problem: What's wrong with the pop up window?Tim wrote:I don't want the Quick Rename window to pop up.

@ KNUT:
I prefer to look at exactly the same position when changing a file name.
The Quick Rename window opens at a different position.
Frequent eye movement is tiresome when renaming lots of files (in a process that is too complex to be automated).
Furthermore, when renaming in the actual line I can determine font and font size. This is not possible in the Quick Rename window.
Hope this serves as a little explanation

Yep - thanks Here's my Tip for a workaround: Use the Renamer-Plug:Tim wrote:@ KNUT: I prefer to look at exactly the same position when changing a file name.

- Mark all the files to rename
- Start the Renamer Plug-In (via menu or CTRL+SHIFT+R)
- Select the "Manual mode" (ALT+L)
- Know you've your files in a smart list to edit the names.
- Customize the display Font under: Options - Advanced
Perhaps this helps... (or is it actually better than your desired feature.... )
Kind regards, KNUT

-you can set your favorite text editor in Options - Advanced
-and by pressing F4 in manual mode edit your filenames in your editor
Or if you want automatic rename. Press F5 in manual mode and filter your filnames through a shell command. (the old names are pushed to stdin of the colon you write and the new are read from stdout).
