--- Comment #10 from funkybom...@gmail.com ---
Hello, I'm currently using Linux Mint with KDE 4.14.2, and this bug still
hasn't been resolved after all these years.

Is it safe to assume that this feature is not going to be implemented in KDE 4
?
Are there any plans for it to be implemented in KDE 5 ? Should we look forward
to it?

I think that a lot of people transitioning to Linux from a Windows environment
find the lack of this feature as a handicap. This functionality really IS
intuitive, at least for power users.
One click to select the item (file/folder), second click (on the text) to
rename it.

I know that the default answer here is "press F2 to rename", but it's just not
the same. I spend one second to find and press F2, while I can do a second
click in 200ms and start renaming.
( In Windows I always set my double click speed to a very low value, just to be
able to enter rename mode faster! )

Don't take just my word for it. Why do you think that this issue comes up again
time after time?
Here's another request for this feature (in Nautilus - but the concept is the
same), dating back to 2006 !  
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/48671 

People will keep asking for this in 10 years time if it's not done! :)  And for
a good reason!
Please note I'm not suggesting that this should be the default behavior, just
an extra option "Click selected to edit" to go along with the single/double
click options. 

Kind regards!
