GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 134973
You cannot rename desktop files with F2
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
In nautilus 2.5.7, you can rename any file on your hard drive by selecting its icon and hitting F2. This does not work for files that are on the Desktop. You can still rename them using the context menu.
