Keyboard Shortcut to Rename GameObject
Hello, I was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut to rename gameobjects from the hierarchy menu. It gets pretty annoying duplicating similar gameobjects and then having to right click each clone to rename it.
I'm using Unity 4.3
You would think that Unity would have taken a clue from other tools by now and put the object in rename mode automatically after duplicating or creating a new object. Or create an option for it. I can't say how many times I've hit Ctrl+D (or create new...) and started typing the new name and then been like "Ack! Why do they make rena$$anonymous$$g so difficult?" I think the only time I don't want to rename is when dragging in or duping prefabs.
On Windows use the F2 key, which is the "rename" key in that OS. You can also use it to rename many things, such as files/folders in the Unity Project view and in the Windows Explorer.
On Mac use the Enter key. (Full credits to @Kiwasi in the comments.) In general, "Enter" renames and Cmd+O opens.
