* 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?
