Comment 126 for bug 48671

 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 renaming this way - it's slow and you get into it by accident . It's just not that good from the get go ) Just get used to using F2 for renaming , because this is not really a Windows->Linux adaptation issue that someone is going to seriosly look into.
