This is probably a case of Dolphin not being a good tool, unless it has a built-in command-line? $ mv newfile oldfile will overwrite the old file in place with the new file with the name of the old file. In my file manager, emelfm2 (sadly not in tree any more), which has a built-in command-line there are at least two ways I could solve this. 1. Equivalent to your method - Select old file, F2 (rename), ctrl+c, esc, select new file in other pane, shift+F6 (move with rename), ctrl+v, enter 2. Equivalent to explicit command-line on the built-in terminal - mv %f %F (referencing selected file(s) in the active and inactive pane respectively) I know there are many file managers with a built-in terminal, so maybe others have similar possible solutions. I saw someone mention midnight commander which I believe is one. Regards, Arve
