Apple - How can I rename a song in iTunes with a keyboard shortcut?

fn + return works while navigating with the up and down keys. Edit the song, then press return again to submit changes.

For the other columns just press tab to reach the desired column.


  • Press ↑ Up or ↓ Down to go to the track in iTunes.

  • Press ⌘ cmd + ↩ return.
