Multiple presses of F2

Post by kiwichick »

Hi there,I recently did a fresh install of XYplorer. In my previous installation selecting an item and pressing F2 multiple times would change the "rename" behaviour:

1st press: filename is selected
2nd press: nothing is selected, cursor placed at end of filename
3rd press: filename + extension is selected
4th press: nothing is selected, cursor placed at end of extension

This obviously isn't a default setting because it's not happening in my fresh install. The problem I have is that I can't remember how I got this behaviour to happen. I can't find anything in settings and I don't know if it's some kind of script I used. Can anyone help, please?

Actually this is the default setting (inline rename works like this)

Code: Select all

v11.70.0006 - 2012-10-13 18:30
    * List | Inline Rename: Now it's a four-step circle when you 
      repeatedly press F2 on a filename with extension.
        1) select, extension excluded
        2) unselect, caret to end of base
        3) select all
        4) unselect, caret to end 
      With Configuration | General | Exclude extension on rename ON the 
      circle starts at 1), else at 3)
Do me a favor and type

Code: Select all

fresh;
in the address bar and execute it with the enter key

Does the F2 key behave in that instance as it should?

Well I must apologise. I've just checked it again and it's working fine. I don't know what the heck I was doing before.
