Improve inline tab/shift tab renaming with PreviewDocsFocusStealFixExt=msg

[PlorerXY6]

Can we get better tab/shift tab renaming with PreviewDocsFocusStealFixExt=msg tweak on (used for the BrandsICT Msg Preview Pane)

Tweak 'steals focus' back to XYP for above, desirable usually, but when renaming inline with edit field active, and using Tab/Shift+Tab (or up/down arrows) with rename field active, the rename field is then stolen back, and you lose the new line's rename edit field focus, which is undesirable.

But if XYP could detect, based on above tweak, that certain file types will have focus stolen back, XYP could then press F2 for us again, after a delay of say 600 ms, and allow inline renaming to work better.

Could above be implemented as a feature to improve serial inline renaming? Not for all file types - only those listed in above tweak!

No, that's too tweaky. Simply turn off the preview before you serial rename. Or preview as thumbnail.

OK. Here's my attempt at making special keys with Autohotkey for this issue as a workaround if anyone else wants to try it out:


#IfWinActive ahk_class ThunderRT6FormDC ahk_exe XYplorer.exe ;F2 issue bug

ControlGetFocus, c, A
If ( c = "Edit18" || "Edit21" || c = "Edit23" || c = "ThunderRT6PictureBoxDC70" )

ControlGet, ThunderRT6PictureBoxDC70Hwnd, Hwnd,, ThunderRT6PictureBoxDC70
Sleep 1000
Send {F2}
}
Else { ; not address bar
Send, {Tab}

return
