How to Enable Double Click to Rename a Folder on Linux Mint

If you open your file manager select edit then preferences then select behaviour you can check a box to get double click to rename working. Nemo has a feature called “Quick-Rename”.

This feature, which is probably most appreciated by Windows users, consists in renaming files and directories by clicking them, waiting a bit and clicking them again.

Quick-Rename is disabled by default. To enable it in Nemo, open your Nemo file manager, go to Edit >> Preferences >> Behavior >> tick the Click twice with a pause in between to rename items.

Now, beside of pressing F2 button on keyboard to rename file or folder on Linux, you can also rename your file or folder by click – pause – click again on the file or folder. The result will be the same!
