Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.3.3; windows 10 x64

What is the problem

Is having the Rename torrent feature in a new window really needed?

What is the expected behavior

Isn't it better, more user friendly and fast to have the rename feature inside the main window? Hitting F2, or selecting Rename, or left clicking on a selected torrent should initiate the rename process in the main window. Once you click anywhere else after, or hit enter, the rename process should end, just like in windows explorer or other places.

Steps to reproduce

Hit F2 or right click --> Rename on a torrent

Extra info(if any)

Maybe a setting in advanced options could be added?
Rename behavior: "Show a new window when renaming a torrent (default)" / "Renaming done in the main program window, even when left clicking once on a selected torrent."

Damn, so if this was requested in 2013 and again in 2015 #3700 , chances are slim to none to be implemented.
I guess i've learned the name for this thing: "Inline editing"
