I mostly work with **Titles** , so I'm often hitting **F2** thinking I'm about to rename the **Title** , which, as you know, renames the **Filename**.
What if the following shortcuts were added:
Shift F2 = Rename/Edit **Title**
Shift F3 = Edit **Artist**
Shift F4 = Edit **Album**
Shift F5 = Edit **Track #**
Shift F6 = Edit **Gernre**
Shift F7 = Edit **Comment**
Shift F8 = Edit **Composer**
(etc)
(I'd also like the option to toggle F2 between rename Filename and Title).
Just a thought! Thanks guys for an AWESOME program!!!!

When I hit F2 Mp3tag puts me in edit mode within the left-most editable column. You could move TITLE to the far left to change the F2 behavior.

Your proposal may be useful, but it requires, that someone is willing to learn all those keyboard shortcuts.
In my adaption of the Mp3tag user interface I have arranged the columns in such a way, that I can press
[F2] to change the filename,
[F2][TAB] to change TITLE,
[F2][TAB][TAB] to change ARTIST,
[F2][TAB][TAB][TAB] to change ALBUM,
... and so on.

I should also add that you don't necessarily even need to have filename displayed in the columns. I use an action group to automatically rename files from TRACK and TITLE, so never have a need to manually edit filenames.

I see. Thanks! Ok, I can get used to [F2] [Tab]. 🕶
(and I like to see my filenames. just to make sure they are correct)
