Bug Description
- What is expected:
After you create a file from context menu (right-click -> New Document -> New XXX file), its name should be focused and ready to be edited - so that it's possible to rename it right away.
- What is actually happening:
After you create a file, you have to manually invoke its context menu and select "Rename".
- Why?
This feature (one click create-and-rename folders and files) exists in most OS-es (including older Ubuntu versions) and file managers (including console ones). This is basic functionality that you would expect from a file manager.
