Windows10's File Explorer is a powerful tool. Did you know that there are four separate ways to rename a file or folder built-in? There's a keyboard shortcut that lets you rename a file or folder without having to click a mouse, too.
One of the fastest ways to open a Command Prompt in the desired directory is from File Explorer. First, open File Explorer and navigate to the destination. Click the address bar and type "cmd" in, and press the Enter key.
Although the quotes aren't mandatory, they're required if either of the current or new names has a space in them. For example, to rename the file "Home Movies.ogv" to "First Birthday.ogv" you would use the following command:
Windows PowerShell is even more powerful and flexible than Command Prompt when it comes to renaming files and folders in a command-line environment. While we'll only scratch the surface of naming your files, you can do some really powerful things, including piping cmdlets together to batch replace characters in a filename.
The quickest way to open a PowerShell window at your desired location is to first open the folder in File Explorer. Once there, click File > Open Windows PowerShell, and then click "Open Windows PowerShell."
PowerShell isn't just a shell. It's a powerful scripting environment you can use to create complex scripts for managing Windows systems much more easily than you could with the Command Prompt. If you want to learn how to use PowerShell cmdlets, we've put together a list of the best ones to get you started.
PowerToys, a utility program produced by Microsoft, can also be used to rename files on Windows. It is probably the most convenient way to rename a large number of files on Windows. Download and install the program from GitHub or the Microsoft Store. Once it has been installed, you'll find that "PowerRename" has been added to your right-click context menu.
If, on the other hand, the app copies the PDF in to its local file store (eg, GoodNotes), this will not address your need as written. Once your edits are complete you will have to export the PDF back to iCloud.
Hi Paul, how are you, I was surfing the web for this specific shortcut, and thank God I found you, can you please share the shortcut after you edit it ? I mean obviously, you made some minor changes to the shortcut above, resulting in even more capable one( contains exactly what Paul I need)
I have to agree with you that the current hotkey function performance (in Max 2020.3 ) is not consistent or logical to me. It does depend of course on having the Keyboard Shortcut Override Toggle Enabled, so I am assuming that you have tried your assigned hotkeys with that enabled? I have some hot keys that work, but like you, I assigned a hotkey to "select camera" and it doesn't work.
With respect to the rename objects from scene explorer, this appears to be a bug specific to this command. If you observe the Maxscript listener while you hit your hotkey, you should observe that it prints
macros.run "Scene Explorer" "SERename"
Which means it's executing the command, however like you I observed that the object name does not turn to "edit" mode. Note, the same command is executed and recorded in the listener when you right click an object in the scene explorer and select "Rename", however in this instance, the edit mode turns active.
I updated Eclipse IDE from 2021-12 to 2022-03 recently and I found out that the shortcut for rename/refactor alt-shift-r was removed.Is this a bug and will be fixed later? Was this removed on purpose?
Thanks, Phil. I guess it's just a matter of getting used to the differences with Windows. My next question would have been how do you open the file but that is "cmd-o". Honestly, though, which do people do more often? So which should be simplest?
I would say opening a file is usually done with the mouse rather than the keyboard but yes, it did take me a while to get used to press enter to rename a file rather than F2 when I first started using Macs.
Yeah, I use a trackpad and find that hitting Enter (or even cmd-o) more ... ergonomically friendly(?) than double-tapping the pad (I don't use the force-click at all as the pad sits on my couch, not a table). Again, not a big deal, and glad to have found a "rename" keystroke. Thank goodness!
Would love to have a menu item at the very least, that I could assign a keyboard shortcut, to rename a layer or group. I'm on a big display and it wastes so much of my time, dragging my mouse all the way to the top left to also double click a layer.
Add F2 as a global shortcut to rename elements. It's annoying to have to go to the design > layer tab. right click, look for rename and then rename the item (or double clicking on an item). It will be much faster to have F2 as a global shortcut to rename objects.
For real. I mean this is a basic necessity. Adobe you have a good product but need to give users many more options and shortcuts. I have to double click on a folder?? I like XD but Sketch is much more faster to use. Follow Sketch and you guys will be Amazing.
This is a hard habit to break coming from Sketch. Even if you want to keep "command + r" as your repeat grid, i could live with "command + shift + r" for rename, but really, im gonna use rename far more than repeat grid
However, it would save an enormous amount of time in naming groups if one could simply click after selecting multiple elements and then just start typing.
The current alternative is that one must take one's hand off the keyboard, grab the mouse, find the group, and then successfully double click without opening the group instead of putting it into "Rename" mode.
In addition, I'd also like to see a new group defaulted to "Rename" mode with the focus on the new Group.
Once in this mode, hitting or simply clicking away would leave it as "Group 1" (or whatever) without actually interrupting work flow. So, it would not impact working behavior in any negative way.

When you create a file or a folder, you have to give it a name. As time goes by, you might need to rename it for better management. There are many ways to rename a file on a computer. Do you know how to rename it quickly? MiniTool Partition Wizard introduces the rename shortcut in this post.
Files and folders are the most common things that every computer user would use in daily life. When they manage their files and folders, they might change the name, and here are some shortcuts to rename files or folders.
This might be one of the most common rename shortcuts you can find. You just need to click the file or folder, and pause for a second, and then click it again. When the name of your file or folder is highlighted, you can rename it by inputting a new name, and clicking any empty space or pressing Enter.
You can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select the target file. Then you just need to press F2 to highlight the file. After typing a new name for the file, you can press Enter to save it.
After debating internally for months the users of this resource have decided it would make their lives easier. I can rename the folder and break the links no issue. I am just being the super helpful, nice IT guy that I am and trying to make life easier for my users.
The CNAME approach will make troubleshooting and maintenance harder in the future. It should work but it will cause you issues in the future without property documentation. Because it will not be visible by looking at a specific server settings to understand how it works. I would strongly recommend against it. Just bite the bullet and make the change. I have moved my users to DFS shares so I can move files shares around based on load needs etc and keep the same path names.
Yes, this is a mapped drive that they have created the shortcut from. I have decided to just break their shortcuts and be done with it. It is 2013 and people shouldnt complain about having to delete and recreate shortcuts to frequently used folders. That is computer 000000001.
What @toltec meant was you cannot avoid clicking on a layer in the Layers panel to change the focus to its name field -- otherwise keyboard input would not be directed to the name field of the layer, so since you have to move the pointer there to do that anyway, just double-click while the pointer is there & begin typing.
I think the absence of this simple feature making affinity designer less effective for me
for example, I've 100+ layers and I always giving proper names to my layers, then I should select and click 100+100 times instead of just select layer press on a hotkey and start renaming
If that is what you want, I suggest posting about it in the Feature Requests, Suggestions and Feedback forum. However, since you still have to select each layer you want to (re)name one at a time, I don't see how this is going to speed that process up very much if there are a lot of layers involved, particularly if there is a mix of parent & child layers.
