Renaming in Finder, Monterey
What are best practices for renaming any finder entry, beyond hitting return? I notice renaming using a menu (on my keys it's Control-click) is pretty permanent, but is it necessary to do this everywhere? As in, when the cursor is parked for 4 second over a file, it's highlighted and I can change the title by hitting return and it works, but only until it goes somewhere. Then default names are back. Hasn't this been going on for decades?
