Remove/replace strings
I'd love to see an option to replace one string in name with another.

Use case:

My rover uses all DLC offroad 5x5 wheels, and I already carefully numbered them based on position (using BuildVision).
I find that the positions are not visible (because original name was too long).

I want to shorten the names by removing unimportant parts and see my suffixes in terminal. to ease grouping and configuration.

Replacing name will loose the information I added.

I'd love to select all my suspensions and say "replace ' 5x5' part by empty string" and then (separate operation) 'Offroad ' as well.

---

Stretch goal would be to offer regular expression replace, so I could just replace mask `^Offroad (Wheel Suspension) 5x5 (.*)$` with `$1 $2` to have 'Offroad Wheel Suspension 5x5 Left BR' turned into 'Wheel Suspension Left BR'.

Same thing applies if you want to see (direction) suffix on long-named thrusters - if thruster original name is too long ('Elite Large Hydrogen Thruster Sloped'), you'd need to completely replace whole names to actually see those for grouping or stuff.
