Unable to use keyboard key <F2> for Rename on the desktop

[Norbert]

[Impact]

This is a usability issue for users who upgraded from Bionic, the previous LTS (where desktop was handled by nautilus) to Focal, the current LTS.

[Test Case]

1. Install GNOME Flashback, login to it
2. Open terminal and create new file with `touch ~/Desktop/aaa`, close terminal
3. Navigate to this file on desktop and try to rename it using keyboard key <F2>

Expected results:
* user is able to rename file by keyboard only - using <F2> key

Actual results:
* user is unable to rename file by <F2> key

[Regression Potential]

Fix/improvement to desktop icon renaming with keybinding should not case any functional regression. It is small change that adds extra key handling to allow to initiate desktop icon rename with keyboard shortcut.

Hello Norbert, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-flashback into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-flashback/3.36.3-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

[Norbert (nrbrtx)]

With package from -proposed it works as expected. Thank you!

[Michele Della Guardia (micheledellaguardia)]

On 20.04 I installed all "proposed" updates and now I can rename with F2 in any other folder, but still not able to do that on my Desktop (my Ubuntu was updated from 18.04 to 20.04 and previously everything was working)

[Alberts Muktupāvels (muktupavels)]

Michele, did you restart session after installing/updating gnome-flashback from proposed? Also you could write more detailed steps with what you do / what you try to do...

[Michele Della Guardia (micheledellaguardia)]

Today, after a new update from proposed, I finally had F2 rename function working again on Desktop. Thanks a lot
