Is it possible to write some code that will enable me to copy and paste text when renaming files in the Finder? Why hasn't Apple included this functionality into the OS? A Chupa Chup to the first person to make a plugin available for download!

  Contextual Menu Items seem to be completely disabled when renaming a file in the Finder, so a CMI solution to this is pretty unlikely (at least in Panther, and I haven't seen Tiger, so I don't know about that...)
  
  But, you CAN use Command-C and Command-V to copy and paste text from a filename while renaming.
