Quick Edit: How to invoke by hotkey?

[Der schöne Günther 316]

After upgrading, I have discovered the VCL forms new Quick Edit feature which I really like, it's something I have always wished for.

 

My only problem with it is that there seems to be no way to invoke it with a hotkey. I always have to

• grab the mouse
• find the control
• right-click it
• find "Quick Edit" in the context menu

 

I have looked at the Default Keyboard Shortcuts, but there isn't anything about Quick Edit. Apparently, there really seems to be no "out of the box" way to invoke Quick Edit, other than by mouse which is not so quick:

Is there some workaround? I tried keyboard macros, but it seems I also can only record macros in the code editor, not the form designer.

The GExperts Rename Components expert has some limited functionality similiar to Quick Edit and it has a keyboard shortcut.

Adding a keyboard shortcut for Quick Ediit is on my wish list, but not as easy as I expected. I already wasted several hours on this.

Did you know that you can configure the Rename Components expert to automatically pop up for new controls when you drop them on a form?
