Public bug reported:

- What is expected:

After you create a file from context menu (right-click -> New Document
-> New XXX file), its name should be focused and ready to be edited - so
that it's possible to rename it right away.

- What is actually happening:

After you create a file, you have to manually invoke its context menu
and select "Rename".

- Why?

This feature (one click create-and-rename folders and files) exists in
most OS-es (including older Ubuntu versions) and file managers
(including console ones). This is basic functionality that you would
expect from a file manager.
