Description Angelo ZERR CLA 2017-09-30 01:54:39 EDT 
F2 doesn't work. Alt+Shift+R should be used to execute rename like JDT does.
Comment 1 Mickael Istria CLA 2017-09-30 14:59:22 EDT 
We should instead check why wouldn't F2 work. There is only one common "rename" command provided by platform. It's IMO much better to stick with this command rather than creating new ones.
Comment 2 Vlad Dumitrescu CLA 2017-09-30 15:16:16 EDT 
I suppose it depends from which background one comes: like Angelo says, JDT uses Alt-Shift-R in the editor, not F2. The latter works however in the Navigator. I'm not sure how other tools assign the rename operation, but JDT is probably the most used one. 

I would argue that JDT did it wrong (probably for historical reasons), but I don't think we can ignore it. For me Alt-Shift-R is a reflex by now :-)
Comment 3 Vlad Dumitrescu CLA 2017-09-30 15:16:58 EDT 
By which I mean, can we have both?
