Description Michał Sawicz 2007-04-20 20:45:20 UTC 
When using single-click policy it's quite difficult to get one file selected to have it renamed when trying to do that on a number of files in one folder - you have to click outside of any file icon (which is hard when having a lot of files in one folder) or ctrl+click to deselect the previous file.
This one is related to bug 306489, but I'd like the solution to be user-configured - if one wants to use multi-file rename - ok, but I'd like it to behave like this - when clicking F2 with multiple files selected, only the last one selected gets renamed. That should be fairly easy to implement.

I'm closing this as a duplicate of bug #306489 and copying your comment there, so that if anyone will try to implement that feature, it could take your suggestion into account. Thanks.
