MRT: file name and extension fields don't respond to up/down keys

Post by *EvilDragon »

I wished this to work so many times, only to be disappointed every time I open the Multi-Rename Tool...

"Search for" and "Replace with" fields support keyboard up/down keys to go in the history of entries, but "File name" and "Extension" do not. They look the same (like a menu with allows text input), so why don't they behave the same? :(

I would make all comboboxes supporting Ctrl+Arrows instead of just Arrows, it is too easy to press an arrow key and lose typed text.

I would rather they all use arrows, that's how it usually is in other apps too...

Don't single out a single menu just because. Either all of them should scroll with arrows, or none. Ctrl+arrows is not cool, at all, very non-standard - even though I understand the reasoning.

I would love an option for this, doesn't have to be formally in preferences, but an .ini file switch would be much appreciated. More power for powerusers?
