Renaming a file in mc / Midnight Commander:

2. Shift + F6

The original way of renaming a file - the one mc / Midnight Commander had before Shift + F6 was implemented - is also still there:

1. Select a file
2. F6
3. Enter a new file name
4. Enter

Select a file

Enter file name

And Esc + 6 may be used instead of F6:

1. Select a file
2. Esc + 6
3. Enter a new file name
4. Enter

Select a file

Enter file name
