"In place rename stop at extra non-alphanumeric characters" not working

Post by *Wouter »

Hello everyone,

The "In place rename, command line: Stop on Ctrl+Left/Right at extra non-alphanumeric characters" is not working for me with underscores when renaming files and directories, but it is working on the command line.
It did work with an early beta, I think it was beta 1. It does not with beta 5, 6 and 7. I tested with beta 6 on another PC and had the same issue.
Can anyone confirm this? Or am I missing a setting or something else?

Kind regards,

Wouter

It has been disabled by default due to user complaints.
You will have to put
CtrlArrow=1
in wincmd.ini.
The cursor movement in the command line is NOT the same, this one is handled by auto-complete.

Thank you very much, that made it work again!
It would be nice to have this a a configuration option under Operation > Main Program, near the other renaming option. I think many users will not find it now, or not even know the setting exists.
Since I also didn't think of checking the help section about the .ini settings, I'm proof that a forgetful user will fail at this task :oops:
