Couldn't you have just googled this? I mean there are some things that don't need a thread and this is one of them

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
 

Fun fact:

If you copy/paste the title of this topic into google, the first result will contain your answer. I checked!

No. Go rename 100 tabs and tell me if clicking is easier than ctrl + pg dwn; Alt ohr

When did you ever need to rename 100 tabs? What about Ctrl + page down, then right mouse click for your 100 tabs? 3 key presses vs. 1 click? Not every shortcut is a shortcut (as my wife sometimes reminds me when I'm driving)

There's just no way that you can grab your mouse, move it down to the tabs area, right click on the correct tab, then move your mouse up to rename faster than I can press four keys (this might take 0.25 seconds).

Ironically, even after you right click on the tab, it's still faster to hit "R" (which is the keyboard shortcut for rename after a right click) than to move the mouse up to click on rename.

Surely not.
