Description of the new feature / enhancement

In New+, When a new file type is created from the template, it should automatically enter "rename mode" to allow users to immediately rename the file from its default template name. This feature is similar to the Windows built-in behavior and would streamline workflows by eliminating unnecessary steps, such as navigating to the file and manually triggering rename.

Scenario when this would be used?

This feature would be particularly helpful when users create multiple files in quick succession. Often, new files are named generically (e.g., "New File (1)"), with respect to the template name, and users must manually rename them later. By entering rename mode automatically, users can:

  • Avoid creating duplicate, undescriptive filenames.
  • Save time by renaming files immediately upon creation.

This is especially beneficial for power users managing large projects with frequent file additions.
