Hi guys!

I was trying to rename various xhtml files inside the epub, when I decided to come here and ask for help.

I would like to use only the keyboard, without any clicks.

I know I can bulk change names that are sequential (and I use that a lot), but when thats not the case, it can be a really tedius job.

I use "F2" to rename the file. After renaming, I press "TAB", so I could go on renaming the next file. The thing is the next file is selected just for a second, then it jumps back to the last edited item (after Calibre updates the book with the last change). So, I need to hit the down arrow key to select the next and press "F2" again.

Is there anyway it could work just like on Windows Explorer? I mean, if I hit "TAB", it would select the next file and continue editing?

Or maybe, there is some other easier way that I am not aware of...
