[oXygen-user] In-place rename

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

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.

Regards,
Adrian
