Rename and Tab for ease of renaming a set of files

Post by meteorquake »

[The 1.5 alpha appears to do this - I've just noticed!]
In Everything, sometimes one wants to rename a large bunch of files. Think for example of a folder of photos and you want to go through and name them, with the large preview pane open so you can see what you're renaming.
Currently when you rename you finish/commit by hitting enter, press the arrow down, then press F2.
Can I suggest that if you hit Tab it should commit the rename and then go to the next file, going into rename mode so you can immediately type? that is much easier than the 3-part sequence, and would be analogous to entering in a spreadsheet where you tab to the next cell to type the next.
Cheers, David
