Description

As suggested by @angelozerr in https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper/issues/1140#issuecomment-1475353878 here's a function I found missing as a separate issue:

When the cursor is in an XML tag normally auto rename tag is active. When pressing ESC this auto renaming gets deactivated. Yet there doesn't seem to be an option to re-activate it again. In other Eclipse-Editors like the Java-Editor this can normally accomplished by Ctrl-2 + R or Alt-Shift-R (differing in scope). I'd propose to add such a function for XML, too.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the XML auto-rename behavior in the general XML editor and POM editor, along with the linked discussion in issue 1140. Trace how pressing Escape disables auto-renaming and how comparable Eclipse editor shortcuts reactivate it; done means a documented shortcut re-enables auto-renaming in both XML editing contexts.
