Modifying host names

You can modify the text of a host name or IP address by selecting it in the HostName Commander window and then clicking on it with the mouse once (or by pressing the F2 key), just like you would go about renaming a file in Windows Explorer:

Note that the Allow in-place editing option must be enabled in order for this method of modifying the host names and IP addresses to work. Also, only the text of a host name or IP address can be changed this way; to change the comment and other properties of an item use the Edit command described below.

To modify all properties of a host name that already exists in the HostName Commander window, select it and choose the Edit command from the menu of HostName Commander, by clicking on the appropriate button in the toolbar, or by pressing the Enter key. You can also double-click the host name in question with the mouse. This command will open the Edit Host Name dialog box:

This dialog box has the same areas as the Add New Host Name. Simply make the desired changes and press the OK button to save the modifications to the host name.

You can also modify the new IP addresses displayed in the HostName Commander window, using the same Edit command of HostName Commander. If you select an IP address before choosing the Edit command, the Edit IP Address dialog box is displayed, which you can use to change the numerical value and comment of the selected IP address:
