The solution I pointed out involves using a customizable keyboard shortcut to call the contextual menu; moreover, Shortcut allows you to assign keyboard shortcuts to contextual menu elements. It is particularly useful in conjunction with On My Command. For example, I created a "Create new text file and edit it in default text editor" element with OMC and then I used Shortcut to assign assign to it the Command + Alt + N shortcut. Cheers, Guido @Giovanni

All I really want is to add a "Rename" option directly above Copy on my right-click menu. I assume this is not possible and it would end up under "More items"? @Guido from the link you posted it looks as though you must go to “More items” to get.

Snow Leopard does not support contextual menu items anymore; rather, it uses services. You need Shortcut from the same software house of OMC in order to run OMC. Everything is explained here: http://www.abracode.com/free/cmworkshop/macosx_10_6_snow_leopard_and_contextual_menu_plugins.html Cheers, G. Ok, I sorted it out!
