Rename Active Group

Renames the active vertex group from a small popup, so you don't have to leave the viewport for the Properties editor. It is added to the bottom of Blender's own Vertex Groups menu (Ctrl+G in Edit Mode), next to Set Active Group and Remove Active Group.

Hotkey: Ctrl+G › Rename Active Group (Edit Mode). Also available from operator search as Rename Active Group.

Options

• Name — the new name. The field starts with the current name of the active group, already focused, so you can type straight away and press Enter.

Tips

• If another group already has that name, Blender adds a numeric suffix (e.g. Group.001) and the status bar tells you the name that was actually applied.
• An empty name is rejected and the group is left unchanged.
• The rename is undoable with Ctrl+Z.
