Add F2 as a global shortcut to rename elements. It's annoying to have to go to the design > layer tab. right click, look for rename and then rename the item (or double clicking on an item). It will be much faster to have F2 as a global shortcut to rename objects.

Please good lord, Adobe XD is such a nice tool but lacks some very basic features that Figma has. Just make this happen.

For real. I mean this is a basic necessity. Adobe you have a good product but need to give users many more options and shortcuts. I have to double click on a folder?? I like XD but Sketch is much more faster to use. Follow Sketch and you guys will be Amazing.

Please allow shortcut for Rename layer/group soon as possible.
if not then this whould be a reason to shift in figma for me.

Please! Such a basic feature for document hygiene! 🙏

How come product team thought designers will use repeat grid more frequently than rename layer? Think XD! Think!

This needs to happen ASAP, please.

+1 Please !

This is a hard habit to break coming from Sketch. Even if you want to keep "command + r" as your repeat grid, i could live with "command + shift + r" for rename, but really, im gonna use rename far more than repeat grid

Yes, please. This was a Sketch favorite of mine. So easy to command R to rename, tab to rename the next layer. If you do it, I'll send you cookies and a cup of soy milk.

Please do this!!!!

The rename shortcut is nice, but it takes too many steps. I simply want to hit 1 key, and rename the current layer/group.

For example: in Photoshop I mapped F5 to rename the current layer/group. Combined with the ability to use option+[] to quickly select other layers.

I'd really appreciate having a new group defaulted to "Rename" mode with the focus on the new Group.

Once in this mode, hitting <Enter> or simply clicking away would leave it as "Group 1" (or whatever) without actually interrupting work flow. So, it would not impact working behavior in any negative way.

However, it would save an enormous amount of time in naming groups if one could simply click <ctrl-g> after selecting multiple elements and then just start typing.
The current alternative is that one must take one's hand off the keyboard, grab the mouse, find the group, and then successfully double click without opening the group instead of putting it into "Rename" mode.

I love this.

In addition, I'd also like to see a new group defaulted to "Rename" mode with the focus on the new Group.

This shouldn't be reliant on an extension. I would like to be able to rename layers or artboards with the same shortcut (e.g. Cmd+R)

please make this happen

Yes PLEASE! It takes lots of time to click the right way not opening a group but just renaming it. It's annoying always going into the layer panel for this.

Please add this feature, my hands are almost broken for double-clicking :( Thanks!

I'd really appreciate a keyboard shortcut instead of double clicking the layer.

YES! Pleas do this for us and the society
