renaming the file being worked on

[Damien]

    I just found out that you could rename a file by double-clicking on the tab. I was trying to find a renaming option by right-clicking on the tab, thinking if it was possible a menu would show indicating what options I would have. It was only while writing a bug report suggesting for this option that it occured to me that I should try double-clicking.

    Double click is fine but is rarely used in elementary. In fact I can't think of any double-click maneuver in the OS apart from the "open/save as" box which is an inconsistent remnant of Ubuntu/gnome.

    I propose that the double-click should be changed to a single click on the already selected tab and/or a context menu (with only one entry?).

I think a right click would be more elementary.

Needs design input?

Yeah I agree with OP, having it in the context menu would be discoverable. Also FWIW, since Scratch switched to DN the double-click behavior doesn't work anymore.

I think about how should the user input the new filename. I don't see a possibility in DynamicNotebook/Tab to make the tab name editable, what I think, would be the best option. The second option is to show a dialog, where the user can input a new name.
What you think about that? Have you any other ideas?

I would like to work on this bug, I am a little new to Vala so would need some help along the way
