claude desktop: press F2 to rename the hovered session in the sidebar list

small quality-of-life one for claude desktop

when i hover (or select) a session in the session list on the left sidebar of the app, pressing F2 should trigger inline rename — same as F2 does in basically every file manager, ide and gui (windows explorer, vscode, jetbrains, nautilus, etc)

right now renaming a session takes extra clicks through a context menu, and F2 does nothing — muscle memory from every other app expects it to just start the rename

ask

  • F2 on the hovered or keyboard-focused session row in the sidebar starts inline rename
  • enter commits, esc cancels
  • ideally works both on hover-highlight and keyboard-selected row

tiny thing but it's the kind of shortcut that feels broken by its absence once you're used to it everywhere else
