The problem here is that our rename UI is tried to the jsTree widget. Items not shown in the tree (i.e. items outside the project) thus can't be renamed currently. The right fix is probably to implement a rename UI in the working set as well (that looks & feels as identical to the jsTree UI as possible). That would also fix the odd behavior where initiating a rename from the working set causes focus to jump down to the tree (for files that are inside the project).

Or if we migrate away from jsTree (which we've talked about), then it might be easier to share inline-renaming code between the two.

This is a move to backlog -- we have a number of cards regarding working set but I added it to the Project Tree Management card as it seems closely related.@peterflynn If there is a better place please feel free to change or otherwise just close it in here.

Thanks!

But I think it would be better to give feedback to the user while this is not supported. This means either showing an error message or just disabling the menu entry on such files.
