Comment 101 for bug 48671

i want to add a few points that i think didn't come up here:
1 - linux supposed to be the most customized OS out there, so it seems to me that the hard approach of "there can be only one
     way" contradict with the linux way.
     there's never harm in adding options.....
2 - there's more reason to use 'delay mouse click' then to rename a file (and the F2 and right click are not suitable solution)
     Sometimes you're not typing the new name. Perhaps it's already in the clipboard and selecting it is preparatory to pasting,
     which can be accomplished with a mouse command. Or perhaps you're selecting the name, not to change it, but to copy it TO
     the clipboard.
     It seems kind of silly to involve both hands simply to select a string for editing

the only cons i read of the XP/mac method is the chance to rename a file by mistake. so improving the poorly functionality of windows (like David said) will solve all the so-called cons of the mouse click.
