- How can you rename a file then use tab to the next file with the rename function continuing to the next file like in Windows?
- In regular Windows/File Explorer, you can use a handy trick to rename a bunch of files relatively quickly. What you do is hit F2 to get the name to go into rename mode. Then you can rename the file how you want. But then, instead of hitting Enter to save the rename, you can hit TAB, and it does two things--saves the rename and ALSO it opens the rename mode of the file right below, thereby allowing you to rename a large number of files pretty quickly by removing the step of hitting Enter. It's still manually doing a lot of work, but it has an automated type action too. Anyway, it doesn't work in my Q-Dir. What happens is it sort of highlights both the original file and the one below, as if I selected both files with Shift/Ctrl, and it doesn't let me do the above process, and I hafta go back to Windows/File Explorer.?
