[Suggestion] Renaming Ships - Improvement coming in 3.00.

[Stu Austin]

Hello all.
When renaming ships in the info tab, I would like to see it where we can rename them without having to type in the full name. Example:
Discoverer Sentinel to Discoverer Sentinel 1. When it is going to have a "1" placed at the end, there is no way to put the cursor at the end and just type in "1".

Went into info to rename a couple of ships and noticed where my suggestion came to light (2.6 beta 2). Added more at the end of name with no problems. Thanx!

It is better, but still lacks some desired functionality with 2.6, such as the ability to move the cursor anywhere in the string. For example, if I wanted to add a prefix at the start of the ship name (so that all my autotraders start with "AT"), I would still have to erase the full name, rather than just place the cursor at the beginning of the ship name.

Exactly this ^

Good news everyone! There will be a moveable cursor in a future version (looks like 3.00 atm).

And it only took you 6 years to be able to move the cursor in text field. Amazing feature in 2019.

I think it was even 7 years. Of course this was a question of priority, not ability.

Should have been like this from the beginning. Can't be that hard to build an input field with moveable cursor, even 7 years ago. But you're right there are enough more important issues to fix.

A moveable cursor, ! What next? YarHoooo.

Es could have put the tea lady on that task 7 years ago, or perhaps they did, and she has only just figured out how to move the cursor. Well done Jane ,Take a brake. Next ES will be asking you to fix the epileptic menu. Now that may take you more than 7 years to fix !!

This is written in jest, not in any way is it derogatory.

I have wanted the input cursor to be movable ever since my first Argon Buster, back in X3’s Reunion.

I might have to enter my stasis chamber while Jane go’s to work. I can feel an episode of Red Dwarf coming on….
