Upstream issue was closed in 2021-06-18 as "RESOLVED OBSOLETE"
after 14 years of no activity. I'm removing the Papercuts task as
any change needs to happen upstream in GNOME and not in Ubuntu.

Apperantly you do not. It is not convenient what you aren't used to,
period. It does not matter at all what reasoning you come up with.

You can wait for that, they don't give a crap about user requests. The
entire Gnome/Unity UI concept is going against most users' needs.

Productivity and ease of use in Unity is very high for me compared to
others UIs, and in my opinion a file shouldn't be renamed by clicking on
it. This is the kind of things you have always to take care for not
doing by accident; and by putting the option only into the menu,
specially when doing
I agree that most times GNOME/Unity devs cut too much of the settings
out , but in this case I don't think this is something important enough
that it should go into the settings (it's out of the question for
defaults - despite the fact that most people working with windows have
gotten used to
So roughly 90% of PC users can be ignored. And you wonder why Linux is
unable to gain popularity. And you say it's freedom when you decide how
others should think and act. You try to educate hardware manufacturers the
exact same way, this one of the reasons they don't care about Linux
support. And
@Martin: If you really want to use the mouse, what's wrong with right
click file - rename? The second it takes to activate and navigate a
context menu is the same as waiting for the delay for left-click-rename.
Don't tell me you've got a one button mouse :P

I could even hit F2. The point is that people socialised on Windows always
try to click twice first. Anything else is inconvenient, any reasoning and
why don't you... is perfectly pointless and ignorant.

I understand some people rename files like that, but in this very

@BS-Harou: So, how do you actually rename a file without using the
keyboard? The point being, pressing F2 to rename is no inconvenience,
because you're going to be using the keyboard anyway.
Plus, to this day, I still accidentally activate rename mode on Windows,
and it's annoying. I hope we
@Dario, I completely agree with you.
This feature should be added to nautilus in the same way OSX implements it, not
the windows way. It would even be touch friendly.
This is one example of the reasons why people critizise gnome devs. This is not

Since the discussion started again, let us remind ourselves why we
didn't want this feature. There are too many accidental clicks and more
often than not you find yourselves renaming a file that you never wanted
to.
Also happy that this feature does not exist in Linux. To Martian and
David,
No, it doesn't happen often at all that you accidentally click on a file
twice and on the file name the second time (millions of people are used to
it), it's just an excuse to justify your silly decision.
Like I said, implementing it as an option wouldn't hurt anybody, especially
with a default

I'm sorry for having an opinion, I didn't know it's prohibited here.
Also, I understand since Linux is a very simple and clear-out design in
general, it would hurt the concept to give users freedom at the expense of
simplicity.
Forgive me for bothering you, won't happen ever again.

@Seb: I'm sorry, actually it was me that revived this discussion with a
rather flaming diatribe. Thank you for directing me to the original
Nautilus bug - for some reason Google doesn't pick it up, and I really
wanted to know what the process was that led to this decision. I find it
surprising,
Of course, on Mac OS, you can also hit return to rename a file:

In Nautilus and on Windows, this opens the file, which is pretty expensive
and surprising if you do it by mistake...

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.

This discussion is profoundtly depressing. Who was responsible for this
questionable UI choice in the first place? Was it done to be
gratuitously (or patently) different from Mac OS X, Windows, KDE, and
every other desktop UI on the planet?
Speaking of planets, what planet do you people live on
@David: thanks for your comment, some notes on the topic:

Sorry to double post.. just thought I'd add that Nautilus in Ubuntu
12.10 has Rename in the right-click menu. The only improvement there
from a UI point of view that I could suggest is having the keyboard
shortcuts listed beside the options, like regular menus have done for
years now. That would
How much effort would it take to implement it as an option for those
perverts who want it? This is a perfect example of the negligance and
