The "rename" hotkey (default F2) should work from the Workspace view

Often the name of a part or model can be important in games. Renaming an object can be tedious when done repeatedly as you will have to click precisely in the Explorer view or scroll through the bloated Properties window. One can press F2 to rename an object, but only if the Explorer view is focused (the menu most recently interacted with).

It would be convenient if the “rename” hotkey was accessible without having to interact with the Explorer view. In the Object View of the 3D software Blender, this is possible and quite convenient for renaming distinct parts of a model. Roblox Studio should do the same thing.

This becomes especially helpful when you are naming multiple distinct instances that are easier to locate in the Workspace view than in the Explorer view. Clicking on the actual part is faster and interacting with the Explorer window only to capture focus only to use the hotkey seems unnecessary and is annoying.
