Description Eloy Cuadra 2015-05-05 21:06:50 UTC
When you are renaming a file in Dolphin after pressing the F2 key (when "rename inline" is active), the TAB key behaviour is illogical: instead of inserting a tab inside the file name, it will be interesting the TAB key ended the current renaming operation and started another renaming operation on the next file name. This is the expected behaviour in other operating systems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Activate "rename inline" in Dolphin's preferences.
2. Rename a file pressing the F2 key.
3. Do some changes inside the file name and press the TAB key.

Actual Results:  
A tabulation character is inserted inside the file name (this is not useful after all).

I support this as well, inserting a tabulation character has no logic when renaming files.

Here are a couple of videos demonstrating how it should work:

It looks like it is working as it should now, pressing tab while renaming inline switches to the next item.
