** Description changed:
There is no way to rename (a common action for files) files from the
files and folders pane.
This could be done either as a right click (context menu) function, or a
slow double click on the file name.
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------
+ Desired solution
+
+ - When a file that can be renamed is selected in the Dash, pressing "F2"
+ should make the file name editable by opening a inline file edit in a
+ similar style to the Nautilus inline file name edit box. Pressing ENTER
+ or RETURN or moving the focus should fix the name change. Pressing ESC
+ should cancel the name change.
+
+ - This should apply to all files with editable names e.g. files and
+ folders in the file lens, mp3 files in the music lens, video files in
+ the video lens, etc...
+
+ - If a item which does not have a editable name is selected, pressing F2
+ should do nothing.
