Maybe that one is missing it as well?

If i add same class here then both rename layer or group have same selector and than only one command works because of this

jupytergis/packages/base/src/commands/index.ts

Lines 1265 to 1270 in 0863353

	// If more then one item is selected, only rename the first
	for (const id in selectedItems) {
	if (selectedItems[id].type === itemType) {
	itemId = id;
	break;
	}

[nakul-py]

To omit this situation we are using new single renameSelected command that helps F2 works consistently for both layers and groups and behavior is selection driven.

Hey @martinRenou if this approach was correct we can also done same refactor for remove layer/group commands too.

We should be extra careful that the logic still works with layers/layer groups/story segments. I'm 👍🏽 on unifying the logic and simplifying the keybindings definition.

Yes, I have updated the screen cast in PR description which shows logic works fine.

This is how it looks now

Looks great!
