I actually do have a vision: keep them free to use for user defined actions,
a.k.a. SpicyKeys. That does not collide with having F2 as an actual rename
shortcut, though, as that is indeed optional.
Basically, providing that shortcut by default is the pragmatic approach vs. the
purist approach. While I usually prefer the latter, I think it's acceptable to
be pragmatic here and there, too. It will only affect a minority of users,
anyway, at least when I enter the rename mode via F2 on Windows on someone
else's computer that someone usually asks "how did you do that?".
Bye,
Axel.
