I also miss this feature, but I agree that the way Windows does it did not make sense: the single-click-wait mechanism is inconsistent. I prefer OSX method of click-and-hold, this also has some analogy with touch-and-hold, and feels more natural.
The F2 shourtcut works fine (to rename a file/folder you need to touch the keyboard anyway), but a shortcut mechanism on the touchpad/mouse seems more convenient and easy to remember. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48671 Title: Cannot rename by clicking on a file Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Confirmed Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: In Windows explorer, clicking a file and then clicking once more on the file name will enter "rename file" mode.
