Default rename region on enter key

On the region manager, you can navigate up and down through arrow keys. Is there anyway to quickly name a region on region manager hitting the enter key?

Same as marker names - double-click one (whole old name is selected), type to replace or create the name, hit Home to jump to the start of the name, etc.

Hit Tab to jump to the next line and do the next one.
Pay attention, it's very easy to delete a name that you juat want to edit.

Thank you for writing. Double click is ok to edit a few names. But if there are a lot of regions, it gets complicated. I was wondering if the enter key could be assigned to replace the double click.

Default Simple request - HUGE time saver - Quality of life improvement

I agree with audioeditor - I work in the games industry where creating say 300-400 regions is easy to do with keyboard but then going back and naming them is a real efficiency pain and a workflow disruption.

I can handle doing 10-30 of these by double click but the keyboard navigation and editing feels half finished here and a little improvement will help customers like myself and other game audio peeps blast through asset exporting.



I just bypassed the region editor tool to export to a CSV and dumped in a template name there to speed things up and then replaced my regions - this is not an elegant solution and needing to work around the internal editor is an indication that a workflow can be improved in the software.

You could create a GUI to read the regions into a listbox then as you select a region you can type the new name and hit enter to change it.

I agree it could be better. An ideal would be some sort of script to batch edit selected region names to change specific space delimited fields or something similar.
