F2 Hot Keys Rename Behavior – Files vs Folders

Feature requests

Thanks for considering this feature request @ariehen

Also I’ve added Example Use Case for your Reference

I’ve reviewed the hotkey configuration, and F2 is correctly assigned. The issue does not appear to be related to a hotkey conflict, but rather to how the rename action is applied specifically to folders.

Observations

  • File Rename

    • Works as expected using both:

      • F2 hotkey

      • Context menu options

  • Folder Rename

    • Works only via the context menu

    • F2 does not trigger rename for folders

Additional Details

  • After renaming a file using F2, the interaction behaves correctly even if the cursor moves away.

  • For folders, however:

    • Pressing F2 after hover-out does not trigger rename

    • This suggests the rename event is not being consistently applied to folder elements

Test Cases

  • Test Case 1
    Demonstrates that F2 works for files but not for folders

Test Case 1 - Rename using F2 Hot Keys for Files and Folder

  • Test Case 2
    Shows that both files and folders can be renamed using the context menu

Test Case 2 - Rename using Contexual Menu's for Files and Folder
