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?

    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.
