When re-naming assets, have an option to pre-populate filename field rather than using a placeholder

Currently when re-naming assets, it sets the placeholder with the original filename although there's no way to populate the value of the field with the filename.

It would be good to have the option to populate this field with the original filename. This would be incredibly valuable if you have multiple files to rename due to a repeated spelling mistake, or something similar.

To throw some ideas out of how it could work:

• Have a separate button for 'Amend filename' which pre-populates the field rather than as a placeholder.
• An option in the configuration to choose where it pre-populates the field on renaming files.
• A button or a key press such as tab which fills the field in on press.

This would be super helpful! I think populating the input with the current name and also selecting it would be a great default — easy to modify the current name, and just as easy to delete the whole thing and start over.
