Hi,
since i often use Rename and Clone options in the MachineView, keyboard shortcuts would be handy for them.
Also when renaming an appropriate auto-numbering would be nice.
So i modifed following files/functions from the BuzzGUI :
(see screenshot)
\buzzgui\BuzzGUI.Common\Templates\Template.cs [ RenameMachine() ]
\buzzgui\BuzzGUI.MachineView\MachineControl.cs [ CreateMenu() ]
If anyone of you also finds that useful, mabe we can use the changes for the next build.

Re: Keyboard shortcuts (Rename, Clone)
Yes!
Very interested in a development of that auto-numbering feature. Does it mean, that the way of numbering could be customized?
If you have a machine that is the clone of let's say Raverb, it will be named Raverb2. If you clone that new one, it will be named Raverb22. And that clone of the last one is Raverb222. Sometimes a little bit hard to spot a certain machine, when you have lots of instances. Is that a planned feature to customize the numbering like naming cloned machine with consecutive numbers or similar options? Or am I phantasizing?
Interested anyway.

Re: Keyboard shortcuts (Rename, Clone)
I changed the rename function so the machine in question (lets say "Machine") will incrementally end up as "Machine.1", "Machine.2" and so on after cloning.
If the machine´s name was "Bass1973", after cloning it becomes "Bass1973.1".
The dot "." is programmatically used as a delimiter. Also brackets "[ ]" would make sense.
It should be possible to enable the user to customize how the numbering is displayed.
It sure is´nt a major feature but useful nonetheless.
However, this is up to Oskari to decide.

copy and paste (ctrl-c, ctrl-v) is the same thing as clone with patterns
