Hi group I try to use the in-place rename feature as follows: 1. In Author mode, I put my cursor in the text in an element. 2. I press ALT+SHIFT+R. However, nothing seems to happen (also when I select the element itself). When I check the menu shortcut keys for rename, I see that the ALT+SHIFT+R shortcut is assigned to "Rename Component" in the "Refactoring" Category. In this list, I also see "Rename" but in the "XML Refactoring" category. When I assign the ALT+SHIFT+R shortcut to that Rename action, it works. Is this the idea or am I doing something wrong here? Thanks. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Hello, Oxygen has a bunch of "Rename <this/that>" actions, but most are only available in a specific context. If you look in the list from Options > "Menu Shortcut Keys" it's not immediately apparent where these actions can be used. I guess we'll have to add an additional column with the location or provide a description. It's usually a better idea to look for an action in the menus and then knowing the name of that action, look for it in the "Menu Shortcut Keys". This way it's a lot easier to determine if it's the one you are looking for. To clarify: - "Rename Component" (Alt+Shift+R) from the "Refactoring" category is an action available only when editing XSD or XSL files. It's meant to rename schema and stylesheet components. - "Rename" from the "XML Refactoring" is an action available only in Author mode and allows you to quickly rename the current element. You can find this action in the Author mode contextual menu (the second item). - there's also a "Rename Element" action in the "XML Refactoring" category. This is available in both Text and Author mode (contextual menu > Refactoring > Rename Element) and is a lot more powerful in that it allows you to rename: the current element or all the sibling elements with the same name or all elements from the document with the same name. To answer your question, you're not doing anything wrong. Even though you're using the same shortcut as "Rename Component" (Alt+Shift+R) the two actions will not collide because they are available in completely different contexts.

Great! Thank you very much for the prompt and clear reply Adrian. Now that's what I call Great Support! Cheers -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Maybe just one more remark to improve the oXygen UI a bit: At first, the context menu item "rename element" was a bit confusing to me, because it made me think of renaming schema and stylesheet components (as in "Rename Component"). Actually, when you're in Author mode, you're not really "renaming" the element, you're using a different element, so maybe "change element" would be a more name for the command?
