  1. Thank you for this Mister Shankar! I remember my mom showing me this shortcut way back in the day when I was “manually” renaming Napster music folders. Haha. I have wanted to remember what the shortcut was for ages, but never got around to it.

    P.S.
    Your name reminds me of the classic Simpsons episode, Bart of Darkness, where Bart breaks his lef falling from the tree house onto the ground, instead of the pool. Bart gets stuck in his room all Summer and is watching Krusty a rerun, where Ravi Shankar is the musical guest.

    Ahh pointless nostalgia which nobody, including you, will probably never see. Ahahaa.

  2. Really useful shortcut.
    Especially for us who download movies and we connect them with the subtitles.
    Thanks.
