In the Network Editor we can press F2 and rename any node. How can we trigger that state with Python? And while at it, programmatically input some text?

I'm trying to code a snippet which starts editing a node's name, inputs a prefix, and the user is supposed to finish the name and confirm.

As long you use a prefix you could set the nodes name before using openNameEditor.
