Is there a shortcut to select the full name of a file when copying or renaming using a graphical interface?
F2 only select the file name excluding the extension.

In Nemo and Nautilus (not in Thunar), you just have to press F2 twice after selecting the file.
- press F2 for the renaming dialog to show up
- when the dialog is present, press Ctrl+A (select all)
