It's so much worse. Right click, nothing happens. Right click again, shitty incomplete menu opens. Click more options. Menu closes, nothing happens. Right click a third time, click more options. Fucking finally, an actual menu opens. Click rename. Menu closes nothing happens. Do it all a fourth time, finally works.

Use any version of Linux, works first time.

    You simply don't click rename.

    You press F2.

    Yes that was mostly poking fun. Use Linux if you want to stay sane with reliable behavior.

    I really hate how F2 will mute the speakers or something on half the machines I touch. I want to shoot whoever decided that a key's primary function requires modifier key.

    Most modern ones have an fnlock somehow (fn+escape typically). Set it and forget it.

    My real annoyance is that I have an airmouse+keyboard thing for my Pi that doesn't have function keys at all. Dude, why?

    I've changed the Fn key to be off by default in BIOS.

    The problem is that I jump on a lot of other people's PCs, and it's wildly different every time. Half the time I'm using someone else's PC, it's to fix something, and I'm dancing all over the hotkeys to refresh stuff, rename files, take screenshots and open system dialogs.
