Usability issue in Solution Explorer#

Pressing F2 (the well-known shortcut for Rename all over Windows) pops up the Object Browser in Visual Studio .NET Whidbey. Not bad if you're in code view (where 'rename' doesn't make any sense) but very annoying if you're trying to rename a solution/project/file in the Solution Explorer :-( Some shortcuts should always preserve their meaning. What if CTRL-C would suddenly mean "Close Visual Studio"? Man, would I be annoyed ;-)

This is my personal website, not my boss', not my mother's, and certainly not the pope's. My personal opinions may be irrelevant, inaccurate, boring or even plain wrong, I'm sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable. But then again, you don't have to read them, I just hope you'll find something interesting here now and then. I'll certainly do my best. But if you don't like it, go read the pope's blog. I'm sure it's fascinating.
