Description of the new feature/enhancement

A shortcut key for renaming the currently focused tab most probably the F2 key

Currently, users have to right-click the tab to rename it, and renaming a large number of tabs can be frustrating especially by using a mouse. This enhancement can let users rename the tab without leaving the keyboard.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
