SUMMARY In widows you can jump to next file using TAB key, when renaming files. This helps a lot when you want to rename a bunch of files, without any pattern for batch renaming. When renaming a file in Dolphin (or konqueror) using the inline rename, if you hit TAB then it should finalize the rename of the current file and bring up the next file for renaming. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Here are a couple of videos that explains this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BntM6Zyznvk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEX7wOJkueA ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Tab key currently enters that long space indentation character, which nobody ever uses in file names.
Strongly related (though not quite identical) to 269987. Probably both requests should be implemented at the same time.
Nobody cares about this? I think it's something that would be useful for a lot of users.
I agree! However, things don't always get done immediately. Most of the people who work on Dolphin are unpaid volunteers (which makes its current level of quality pretty amazing, if you think about). A little patience goes a long way. :) https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting#Have_realistic_expectations
well i'm unpatient because I've reported this thing on the forums more than a year ago. https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=141742&sid=9622c9975c5c0efe592d541e84e84c63 I thought things will move faster here or at least some developer would put it in the bottom of his "to do list"
Here's a patch: https://phabricator.kde.org/D20427
Cool, looking forward to see it in the stable version. I would also test it but I'm not sure how to apply that patch.
