[Feature Request] Move and Rename Favorites in Left Panel
Description
I would like to request the ability to organize and personalize favorites in the left panel by enabling:
- Moving favorite items via drag and drop
- Renaming favorite items through a right-click context menu option
Use Cases
- Organizing favorites in a logical order based on workflow or frequency of use
- Grouping related applications or folders together for faster access
- Customizing display names to be more descriptive or shorter for better space utilization
- Creating a more personalized file navigation experience
Expected Behavior
- Users should be able to drag and drop favorite items to reorder them in the left panel
- Right-clicking on a favorite item should provide a "Rename" option in the context menu
- The rename function would change only the display name without affecting the actual file/folder name
Benefits
- Improved productivity through better organization of frequently accessed items
- Enhanced user experience through personalization
- Reduced cognitive load by allowing meaningful naming conventions
- Consistency with file management interfaces in other modern operating systems
- More efficient screen space usage by allowing shorter custom names for commonly used items
