[REQ] Include file extension in selection cycle...

[icfu]

...of rename, copy, move and (future) pack function:
Full Path\Name\Ext\Name+Ext

Configurable by INI switch would be best.

Sorry Icfu,

what do you mean by "selection cycle"?

Regards, Juergen

29.07.05 Added: Pressing F5 again after F5-copy selects the file name only/name+ext (F6 also works, e.g. for F6 - F6)
[...]
06.07.04 Added: Pressing F6 (or Shift+F6) in the inplace rename field will select just the name/the name+ext

ghisler has announced to also extend this feature to Alt-F5 maybe:

I see ... nice and useful feature. And I support your suggestion for including the extension into this cycle.

I'm with you too.

Support, but i would also suggese this behaviours added:

Not select anything, just put the cursor at the end of the filename, before the dot, for easily adding suffixes to the filename.

after you have selected the filename only, you also can press CURSOR RIGHT one time to remove the selection and have the cursor at the desired position.

Damn, i always pressed cursor left and after that cursor right to get the cursor back to the position.

Never thought that pressing right first will just unselect the filename and cursor will stay in place.

That's why i thought that adding this in cycle will make it easier to press and faster to get.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the tip.

You're welcome. I don't know if this behaviour is documented somewhere. I think I discovered it by accident or somebody mentioned it elsewhere...

24.04.07 Added: Shift+F6 inplace rename: Ctrl+A selects entire name

Wow! So now I can press Shift+F6 for starting an inline rename and if I should ever forget the two-sigh-state-toggle-shortcut I just pressed, I can press Ctrl+A instead to escape the mess. This is really clever, Miss Marple!

Are there any separate shortcuts for marking the filename/the extension as well? This would definetely be much more useful than including the extension to the cycle. Why use an easy to remember toggle when you can press three different shortcuts instead, right?

Ah well, after reading the latest enhancements to TC I just remembered why I had so much fun proposing features for the bin here and got a little homesick. Sorry for being a party pooper and greetings from the dark side!

Did you try to assign Ctrl+A for cm_RenameOnly?

[tbeu]

Try the following key commands in TC Vs 7RC4:
CTRL+F6 for inline renaming
F6 to select file name only
F10 by accident
F6 does no longer work
CTRL+A does not work the first time

When you hit F10, the main menu gets activated. Please press F10 again to return the focus back to the rename edit box.
