Incredible name choice here - it's very rare that I get this feeling associating a new project with its name. I'm filled with feelings that touch on nostalgia, utility, UX design history and computing heritage when I hear the name F2 associated with a batch renaming tool. Great job!

Thank you! I knew I had a winner the moment it popped into my head :)
It's indeed a name that immediately rings the right bell, without being an ungoogleable common noun or verb. Kudos.

(Though for those of us who cut their teeth on tools like Norton Commander on the original IBM PC, the association would be with F6.)

Oh! Then maybe that’s why IntelliJ likes Shift+F6 for renaming by default?
