Is there a command that I can assign to a keyboard shortcut to rename objects?

I had a look in the commands folder but couldn't find anything, no mention of name / rename and no matching string ".name" inside any of the files there.

Hi Andrew, mostly the commands involve creating new objects. Most things involving changing just attributes instead of creating entirely new objects are scripts instead of commands.

You can set up a shortcut key to trigger the same thing as clicking on the object name in the properties panel by this:
script: /* Edit object name */ var pp = moi.ui.propertiesPanel; if (pp.show && pp.numSelectedObjects > 0) { pp.editName(); }
