SHIFT+F6 with mouse (plus)

[sanjkoc]

It's silly, I know

To rename a file in place there's SHIFT-F6, but also a 'slow' double-click let us enter in edit mode; so I'd like that, at that point, a (normal) double-click selects just the name of the file, without the extension (like a second SHIFT-F6), but I'd add that with another double-click just the extension is selected (and so on).

The same using SHIFT-F6 more time.

I hope you understand what I mean (my English stinks, sorry)
Thank you very much.

Double-click in edit field selects word under cursor so such a change would confuse many users.

You can enable Options > Operation > Select only the file name when renaming (not the extension).

Thank you for your answer.
I never realized that! My files never has blanks in name..

I still think a quick way, with the mouse, to switch the editing part between name, ext and fullname would be very usefull (to me for sure).

Suggestions?
Here's mine:
Triple-click (like Opera does)?
My 'way' just working in the first char of the string, after the first double-click has done his usual job? (-> nobody confused, I hope)

I knew this setting, but it does not help me: sometime in the clipboard I've just the new name (w/o ext), but others the fullname! More rarely, just the ext
