Hotkey for rename command in scene explorer

[Anonymous]

Hi! I cant figure out how to bind this rename layer command to hotkey.
In hotkey editor  i didnt find equal position. Tried to manage it by script, but iam near zero in scripting but nothing succeeded
Hope for your help 🙂 thanks

Search for 'Rename the Selected Nodes' in the Hotkey editor.

Thanks for the answer, but I tried it before and tried it right now again, it doesnt work for me. Checked with keyboard shortcut ovveride toggle on and off, nothing, unfortunatly

Strange.

I tried this under 2022 and it worked(key override on/off doesnt matter). Did you save the keyset? Try with a different key combination? I used Shift+R

[Anonymous]

Yep, sure iam saving hotkeys.  I tried to assign a lot of different combinations no result, now on ctrl+k
I see one strange thing: when i select layer, and after 1 sec clicking again on this layer LMB - rename starts, and then this hotkey works until i select another layer.
Iam using 3ds max 2020.2, maybe there is problems with this 😞

OK, so we are talking about renaming Layers? That`s a different thing. I thought you want to rename objects within the layers. Sorry for the confusion.

Seems that you have to make the Layer active for the renaming to start.

Yeah, layer renaming in scene explorer.
You are right. Seems like when i select the layer, and then set it to active then rename hotkey works, but if i bind make selected layer active to hotkey and than trying to rename - it doesnt work.
So there is strange thing, that this command works only when you selecting layer with LMB and clicking slowly on it 2 times, or second time on make layer active icon.
That is frustrating, because i have to rename layers a lot during my work, and doing it by RMB-Rename is frustrating extra clicks

Maybe someone in the Programming section of the board can write a macro-script that can make the renaming process easier. Unfortunately i`m no scripter, so i cant help with that.
