Instead of pressing return/enter on the keyboard after entering the name you can just click on the next file to rename. However, I do prefer your solution because it avoids the while having to move a hand from the keyboard to the mouse/trackpad to get the job done.

In the Finder Scripts folder, available from the Finder's Script menu there are precompiled scripts that do this job.
I usually just take the easy route and leave the files sorted by Date in List View; then they don't jump around at all when being renamed.
Of course, sorted by date may not put the multiple files you want to rename in close proximity to each other so you may still find yourself jumping around.
Well, second try here.. first one was flagged as spam, I guess because it contained helpful links.. So this time I'll just tell you how to discover the links on your own..
If you only need to rename a few files and you do it fairly infrequently then the posted hint has some utility. However, if you frequently have to rename lots of files, a more utilitarian approach is with the unix command line.
My preferred method is with a perl script. If you Google 'perl script rename multiple files with wildcards' you will find several fine examples of how to do this.
Alternatively, if you really want to impress your geek friends, Google this: 'linux rename command on mac os x'. One of the first links will be to a hint on this very forum that will make your day.

This hint is useful, but you have to be very quick with the arrow key.
joeyblades suggestion of using a shell script if you have many renames to do is correct. Larry Wall's classic 'rename' Perl script is one of the most time saving bits of code out there. I seem to remember 10.4 including an older version of file-rename, but it doesn't appear to be in 10.6. But for times when you don't need the power, knowing this hint makes Finder more useful.

If you don’t need to select the file before or after the renamed file you can also press escape—just as quickly as you’d press the cursor-up or cursor-down button.
This is a weeny li’l bit easier for me since my left hand knows better where to find escape than my right hand knows where the cursor keys are.

Or simply use NameChanger from MRR Software.
I renamed a thousand pictures in 45 minutes or so.
BTW, it's free. ;)

One of a set of 3 utilities that are all VERY useful.

in alphabetical list mode i click on the name -- not the icon which won't highlight the name -- and rename the file. i hit tab or enter and QUICKLY hit the up or down arrow key. if i keep the keyboard busy the newly named files wait until half a dozen-ish are renamed, or i pause, before they move to their new spot if they need to. if you end up in the 'a's and want to get back to the 'r's, just type 'r' to jump to the 'r's in the list.
Instead of all the workarounds, can we just bash Apple a little for this? 10.5/4/3.. didn't work this way. I often have to rename files that might be in a folder of a thousand files or more. This new (to me) jumping away crap is a PITA!

I'll take this behavior over Windows 'Right-Click, Select 'Refresh' to have your changes occur' behavior any day.
Or, better, IMHO, I use a Spotlight query to group the files in need of renaming.
And I guess I must be getting old; seems to me Mac OS has always done the jump thing; I am so attuned to just knowing the name of the next file I want to rename that I simply let it jump then type those letters to get to the next target that I guess I thought this was the way it always had been.
We've always been at war with Instant Refresh.
What I miss is the elegance of using a leading Tilde to push files to the end of a list and a bullet to push it to the front. Spaces and Z's look stupid.
We've always been at war with Unicode.

Cocktail 8 0 – general maintenance and optimization utility. A Better Finder Rename debuted nearly 20 years ago on the now venerable System 7. Then we migrated it to Mac OS X. completely rewrote every line of code for version 7. Added a powerful multi-stage renaming engine and a new user interface for version 8 and got addicted to meta-data tags and re-design the user experience once again for version 9.
Now a short three years and 54 point releases later, we have decided to go back to basics and take another leap in usability for newcomers and old-hands alike.
Version 10 takes the concept of an instant preview a step further, by not only previewing the 'what' but also the 'how' with our new change highlighting right within the preview list. This cuts down on trial and error and makes dialing in your actions much more intuitive and fun.
Our new preview pane reveals everything A Better Finder Rename knows about a specific file including a graphical preview of its contents and all available meta-data eliminating much guesswork.
Many complex renaming tasks require multi-step renaming workflows, but these can be difficult to master. A host of improvements to the multi-step interface make it much easier and more intuitive to manage large workflows.

Finally, A Better Finder Rename 10 now looks better than ever on Apple's new Yosemite and El Capitan operating systems, while retaining backwards compatibility all the way back to Mac OS X 10.7.
As our long term customers know, a new major upgrade marks not the end of a development cycle for us, but rather the beginning of a new one. Version 10 provides a solid basis for our monthly update schedule.
