Rename node using F2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Keynote 1.7.8.1 under XP-SP3 has a bug in the way the
rename dialog works:

With a node marked the context menu and the space bar allow
to rename the node. Pressing F2 should do the same because
this is the behaviour all programs under windows show.

Unfortunately F2 renames the tab and not the node no matter if
a node or the tab itself was marked.

Solution: Make F2 sensitive what item is currently marked.

That's not technically a bug but it annoys me too. Renaming tabs is a rare 
thing, renaming nodes is something you do all the time.

Same here. KeyNote ist a great tool but "no F2 renaming" means "not user 
friendly". 

Could the developer(s) change this in the near future?
Thank you!

I've found this to be annoying as well. There is a solution, however. The 
keyboard can be reconfigured, either via the dialogue (see below) or directly 
in the keyboard.ini file (which I won't explain that here).

Go to Tools/Customise Keyboard and find "Rename Node - RenameNode" right at the 
bottom of the Commands List. Click in the "New keyboard shortcut" box and press 
the <F2> key. Then click the [Assign] button. 

This will make <F2> rename the node when in the tree view and the rename the 
note when elsewhere. If you don't want the latter at all then in the same 
Commands List you want to find "Rename Note - NoteRename" and either give it a 
new key or use the [Remove] button so that renaming the note becomes a menu 
operation (Note/Rename Note).

I do agree that the default meaning of <F2> should be to rename the node, not 
the note, as per the basic Windows standards.

Great - the end of an old annoyance!

@Firgo: Thanks for the tip!  I knew you could reassign keys but the "Commands" 
listed on the dialog or both cryptic and disorganized.

I wonder if they're documented somewhere?

Could anyone of you attach the keyboard.ini and keynote.ini files used? I 
cant't reproduce the problem you have described. I have always used F2 to 
rename nodes (and I also have F2 associated to rename Note as keyboard 
shortcut). With actual version and of course with 1.7.8.1 it works for me.

Simply take the distributed versions in "Release_1.7.8.1 (true version).rar".

It's easy to reproduce the bug: Unrar the files, start keynote, click on the
"How does it work?" node and press F2. The dialog box allows you to rename the 
"Welcome to KeyNote" tab, not the node as one would expect.

Hello, this is not a defect, but a matter of configuration. The shortcut 
initially associated to the command Rename node was 'Space', but you could have 
changed it to F2, as I made a long time ago (but didn't remembered). As 'Rename 
node' corresponds to the treeview menú, it can use F2, no matter that this 
shortcut is already assigned (by default) to 'Rename note'.
Depending on where you are when pressing F2, the command executed will be one 
or another.
Althought you set F2 as 'Rename node', you will be able to use space as well, 
that shortcut will continue working.

I have changed the default shortcut of 'Rename node' to F2. (In revision r169)

Regards

I have just released a new version of KeyNote NF: 1.7.9 Beta 4

Could you verify and confirm if the issues are correctly resolved?
Thanks
