Persistent in-place rename

Hello,

just a little suggestion: is there possible to make in-place renaming ( and maybe also other in-place inputs ) make persistent when TC lose focus on its window?

Thanks, good work, keep rollin'

Unfortunately this isn't possible. TC cannot know why the inplace rename edit box loses the focus - because the user clicks somewhere else in the program, or in some other program...

If i remember correctly, in the past there was a discussion about whether exiting the inplace rename mode by mouse-clicking should cancel or accept the changes (like in explorer). I understand that using left-click to cancel the changes might be safer (in case of a window refresh, etc). Is it possible to have a mouse-way (i.e. rightclicking outside the rename box and inside the file panel) in order to save the changes? I ask that because right-handed users may have the right hand on the mouse, use it to activate inplace-rename, use the left hand to just add a letter and then what? Now, one has to either use the right hand just to press enter (which means leaving the mouse, press Enter and then grab the mouse again), or use the left hand which is not very convenient...
