Commands

Rename File to Selection

Uses the current selection / highlighted text in the active document to rename the active file after sanitizing it.

Tips

• Add a hotkey to the command for ease of use, I use CRTL+ALT+R.
• Use the Commander community plugin to add a command button near your file title for ease of use on mobile.

Install
