This patch upstreams Dolphin's dialog so all KIO::FileWidgets users can use it.

KIO didn't actually have its own rename dialog, which is necessary to implement the requested rename-from-the-file-dialog feature (189482). The rename should come back to the Open/Save dialog. But there is not even a Alt shortcut to get to name so I could make Alt+Enter, Alt+N, Enter As I call, making name not selected was as well a one usability case as it caused people to clear the name by mistake. Actually it does not work anywhere by that way in 4.5.1. But it does not work in Open/Save dialog so well as the name is not selected so I could just correct the name and press enter. I have the properties tied to Alt+Enter shortcut.

That is as well the reason why Microsoft and Apple allows the renaming by clicking two times the name as it is easier than context menu. That is how a normal people does it as they do not use the properties window at all. And especially if you have a change to create a new directory, you can in mistake to type wrong name and then you need to go to correct it by opening a filemanager, find the location and then rename it. Yes, the Open/Save dialog is not a filemanager but renaming a file is a very important feature. The renaming was removed at some point by usability reasons from Open/save dialog and I must say it was big mistake. The properties window does have the ability to rename the file but really, we do not rename files from filemanager from there either. That really was (still is) annoing in Windows and that is annoing in Mac OS X as well.
