F2 Inline Rename circle

Post by Marco »

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).
      Works the same now in dialog-based rename.
It's an awesome feature. However I, more often than not, need to append something to the end of base, so I have to tap F2 twice to reach state 2) (I have Configuration | General | Exclude extension on rename ON). Would it be possible to have a tweak that makes the circle start at 2) resp. 4)? If so, I could tap F2 just once to append something to the end of base. I know it might sound lazy and just a matter of a tenth of second or two, but when you do it often during the day well... you notice it.

maybe it will sound arrogant , but isn't it easier to make a script with 'rename'+'deselect/move right' to get in last base position and give it a shortcut?
