Shortcut to rename multiple files in the Finder In the Finder, it is possible to rename the selected file by pressing the "Enter" key.

When multiple files are selected, it is possible to batch rename them using some simple rules by right clicking on the files and then clicking "Rename X files...".

Is there a shortcut to rename the files which are selected, so that one does not need to move the mouse, right click, select the rename button, etc.? 

Although one might expect that pressing enter when multiple files are selected would do this, pressing enter then does not seem to have this effect (it appears to do nothing).
As I don't need so many files renamed simultaneously I simply added this few shortcuts for different numbers

To do this open Preferences &gt; Keyboard &gt; App Shortcuts &gt; + and add Finder with exact Rename 2 Items... menu title and so on)

There is more complex solution via automator, which I don't like it as it resets Rename Menu state each time you open it.
