Focus on the Next Line When Renaming

Post by pinkfloydfan1234 »

I have a question that may have been asked before (my apologies), but I wasn't able to find it.

When I'm renaming files in Windows Explorer:
1) I select a file to rename
2) I press F2 and make the edit
3) I press tab
4) The next filename is highlighted and editable

In other words, if I'm renaming multiple files (all with unique names) I can rename, tab, rename, tab, rename, tab ... etc.

When I'm using XYPlorer:
1) I select a file to rename
2) I press F2 and make the edit
3) I press tab
4) The next file name is editable, but not highlighted.

In other words if I'm renaming multiple files (all with unique names) I need to rename, tab, manually highlight the filename, rename, tab, manually highlight the filename, tab ... etc.

Is there a way I can have XYPlorer operate the same as Windows Explorer?

Thank you.

There was a recent bug about this, it was fixed in 25.10.0110 so if you are using a version prior to that (such as the most recent stable release), you can either wait for next version, or update to beta.
