Feature request: F2 to change file name

[dg333]

Since no dedicated thread for feature requests so far, I put it here:

Mucommander does not make any use of F2 key. Please, assign change of file name to it.

You can actually do that yourself: edit your action_keymap.xml file (you can find instructions on how to locate it here: http://www.mucommander.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=443).

Look for the bit that says:

Code: Select all

  <action class="com.mucommander.ui.action.RenameAction"                keystroke="shift F6"/>


Replace it by:

Code: Select all

  <action class="com.mucommander.ui.action.RenameAction"                keystroke="F2"/>


Restart muCommander, and there you are!

Thanks! But what I meant (sorry, I was not clear enough) is to have a screen button in the bottom row, just like for F3-F10. But well, OK!

Oh, ok. Well, the good news is that you can do that as well by editing the command_bar.xml file. It contains the following line:

Code: Select all

    <button action="com.mucommander.ui.action.MoveAction" alt_action="com.mucommander.ui.action.RenameAction"/>

What you want to do is to remove the "alt_action" bit and add the following line at the first position in the list:

Code: Select all

    <button action="com.mucommander.ui.action.RenameAction"/>

Note that you still have to do the previous manipulation if you want it to use the F2 shortcut. command_bar.xml controls what buttons are in the command bar, action_keymap.xml what shortcut is associated with which action.

Then move this thread to ‘Feedback’ and rename to ‘Mucommander is real cool’

Thanks!
