Why would you put the shortcut hint in the context menu when no other items have it? It is already in the Edit menu (not everyone would go looking for it though). I rarely use F2 because it is annoying on Macbooks to press Fn+F2 - it breaks my workflow.

Here is why I think it is a papercut:
It is system-wide, and impacts a standard workflow - renaming files and directories.
It would be easy to address.
It is a missing way to access the existing 'rename' feature.
It is related to useability; it is a convention among other file managers. Most people who have used Windows or OS X will be familiar with it, and can be lost when they try to do it on Ubuntu.
