While rename I would like to avoid extension change. Would it be possible to change the way to access to extension in rename field from arrow key to TAB key? So the extension would be accessed by keyboard only if TAB key would be pressed.

Tick Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Hide extensions from rename edit box then it's two arrow keys.

Yes, I have seen that. I suggested an already existing alternative.

Thank you for reply. In "hide" mode it is still only a visual separation, not fully practical. When I am navigating in the edit box (by arrows, or long press of arrow, or End key) I can get accidentally to extension. There is no effective barrier to avoid from edit extension by mistake. Could you add the full effective way of renaming without the extension to get in the way? E.g. by using key different from ones used to navigate or rename. The TAB key would be good but since it is used already, there can be used e.g. CTRL+TAB or F2 or other (ideally user defined).

As an alternative, you could use e.g. a script which fully suppresses the extension
Could be bound to a keyboard shortcut as well (by defining it as a user defined command)...

Better to be build-in xy solution, since I am not familiar with scripts.
