[Bug 48671] Re: Cannot rename by clicking on a file

 

I totally agree! I would love to have the "single click to rename"
option in nautilus. I am on a laptop, and in order to rename using the
F2 key I have to press Fn+F2, which is more finger acrobatic than I want
it to be.

I like it how it is done in Windows: you click a tad longer than simply
selecting a file and it goes into rename mode. Let's see if this can be
implemented in Nautilus, too.

  Isn't it a useful feature to have?
