Yes, i remember Windows Explorer. Just used it a few months ago, 2007 or so.

Indeed, F2 is used common for renaming. Except for Midnight Commander. Which 
tends to become a saurus in the age of multimedia 3d desktops (but not in the 
server administration world, without which all 3d desktops would finally be 
totally boring)

We'd need a kind of survey to decide that. So i warped a short search, and my 
#1 idea was
http://wiki.openusability.org 
which however shows a blank screen, and i had a hard time to do any useful 
search on that site.
So much for that :)

As usual, good ol' wikipedia has at least something:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts

Formal aspects:
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/default-keys-spec

And a windows survey http://www.wdell.com/keys

Well i really won't care which keys if only the issue would be settled, finally.


ps. mc has both Shift+F6 and F8 for delete...let's forget about that.
