Restore data-grid behavior: Keyboard-based column renaming

What inspired this wish list request?  In JMP 18 and earlier, if a single column was selected and no rows were selected, you could simply start typing to rename the column. This was extremely efficient when quickly building or modifying data tables. Now, in JMP 19, typing in this state does nothing — there no longer appears to be any keyboard-only method for renaming a column.

 

 

What is the improvement you would like to see? Please restore the behavior where, when exactly one column is selected and no rows are selected, typing begins the renaming process for that column. This change restores functionality that power users relied on in prior versions, and makes it easy to rename columns using only the keyboard.

 

 

Why is this idea important? It restores a fast, keyboard-only workflow for renaming columns, improving efficiency and accessibility for power users who rely on keyboard navigation.
