Just a quick tidbit on Windows Explorer in this post. I was working on renaming several files in Windows Explorer when I hit the Tab key. To my surprise, the rename for the current file was completed and Explorer switched to renaming the next file in the list. I hit Tab again and it switched to the next file. Pressing Shift+Tab will move backwards up the list.
Another quick tip, a slow double-click on a filename in Windows Explorer will allow a file rename.
Below is a gif for demonstration. On a side note, if a picture is worth a thousand words, what a gif worth?
Thanks for stopping by. If you have anything to add, drop a comment below. Have a great day.
Awesome! I never knew this. It’s surprising how much functionality is retained across Windows versions. Long time users can become extremely productive using shortcuts like this.
F2 is also a shortcut to rename. Have a great day!

Funny you mention F2. I have been using Kubuntu more frequently and F2 is also rename in KDE.
