How to single click for rename

Good day!

Thanks!

Thanks for this. I did see the single click to open files. However, I was looking for single click to rename the file (as done in windows). Is this possible?

Hi

what time you seek to gain in not using F2 (1 click)

To click on my f2, I need to hold down the fn button, which makes it annoying.. apart from that looking for the button now is that much more time consuming as it is more cluttered than ever before. Not that it can't be done, the one click is a nice feature to have as we can use one hand to click and that we are used to the convenience now.

Thanks. The newer laptops like my lenovo and dell come with these settings pre-installed. The F2 key in my lenovo is the volume key first. Anyway, thanks for the help.

Glad to help where I can. Sorry I misread your OP.
