Hi.
It would be great to make F2 hotkey functionality to be column dependent i.e. when I hover my mouse on Title tag and hit F2, it will put the editbox under Title column. If under filename, it will work as regular file name change hotkey.
The current function is described in the documentation:
F2 Renames first selected file or triggers edit mode for the first editable column, if there is no default file name column.
It may be documented, but while doing monotonic work by changing title after title item after item, I have itch so I would hit F2 to get quickly into editbox mode for the title name to change it instead of file name.
It would be possible, if the program would respect the mouse pointer area by retrieving what column it is under and hitting F2 key would bring the editbox under the mouse pointer according to the column the mouse pointer is under.
By experience, my idea would significantly improve speed.
Isn't this easily accomplished using existing the tag panel? If you are already crawling file by file, the tag panel can be configured to show any tag fields you want, and in the order you prefer. Adding the F2 function is an extra step.
If you are editing the TITLE in the file list, then hitting Return would save the modification and move to the title field in the next file, already in edit mode. There would not be the need to press F2 again.
Or: if you select a single file (first click) and then - with a little pause - click on the column that you want to edit, that cell gets into edit mode, which IMHO is just as quick as pressing F2 and possibly more convienient as you do not have to switch between keyboard and mouse
Are you sure that this F2 would be easier or faster than clicking on the TITLE field twice (with a minimal move between the first and the second left mouse click)?
You can even click a third time on any position in the TITLE field if you want to change something in exactly the position you clicked on.
I know the trick and I use it already. And I'm sure that it would improve the speed. It would allow user to not switching between mouse/keyboard, but to use just mainly the keyboard (you choose item by arrows, push F2, change name, hit Enter, and so on) (if Enter would just accept the change without moving to another item below)
Maybe this option helps:
File -> Options -> General
Disable/Unselect "Automatically select next file when editing in file view"
See the help documentation.
This is not only valid for "using a delayed double click" it works with Enter too.
Hello @LyricsLover and @DuckMan128
I find this discussion very interesting from all the speakers...
LyricsLover, I tried both ways:
Options -> General
ﬦ Disable/Unselect "Automatically select next file when editing in file view"
√ Enable/select "Automatically select next file when editing in file view"
Maybe I didn't do the test well, I don't see the difference between the 2 ways, can you show us a short video, the difference: ﬦ Disable/Unselect and √ Enable/select "Automatically select next file when editing in file view"
Just press Enter after your modification in a field (like TITLE).
If the option is ENabled, the cursor jumps to the next line/file and select the current content.
You can immediately overwrite or modify this next content in the same column.
If the option is DISabled, the cursor remains on the modifield field, without selecting the content and without jumping to the next line.
Thank you @LyricsLover, for your example: I tried, it's great... 
For my personal programming, I will keep this programming:
