Is it possible to rename a file name similarly to Double Commander?
Basically, by pressing F2, Double Commander automatically starts selecting the whole file name first, then each word in it.
Yes. Try F2, then Ctrl-S.
For details, go to Preferences / File Operations / Renaming Files / Control Keys.

Thanks, @lxp!
After further testing, it turns out that Directory Opus' inline rename doesn't work like Double Commander's.
Here's the limitation.
Double Commander
Directory Opus
If dashes or underscores are presents in the file name, Directory Opus will select the whole text string.
It's not a limitation, you just need to dial in the regex. It can be as short as
[\w]+
To exclude the underscore, use
[a-zA-Z0-9]+
No need to modify Ctrl+S here of course, F2 or any other key will work just as well.
Another option: [^\s\.-]+
Thank you both for helping @lxp @PassThePeas !
That worked.
