I have noticed that when you do have a touch device like a tablet you tend to acquire muscle memory and often want to touch when touch is unavailable. I think this will accelerate the move to touch when touch monitors are competitive with non touch monitors.       

wow, this is quite the thread haha. luckily i found it though so i could figure out that you could rename clips from the inspector view... i swear i looked EVERYWHERE before i came here haha

You can also rename multiple clips at once with the Inspector.

Wouldn't it be great to right click on a clip, and select "rename clip" . . . perhaps someday.

That's how it used to be. right click, properties, name.
I guess they had to make it better so they could make it worse so they could make it better again. 

Yeah, perhaps Cakewalk's next flagship product (labeled something other than Sonar so that it doesn't fall under the lifetime updates umbrella) will add back some of the functionality they took away.

Please don't start all that again 

I like the inspector in general, but would like a faster method for renaming a clip. I'll admit that renaming clips frequently in SPLAT can be a little tedious for me.

So I have a suggestion that fits the Windows paradigm. How about these new steps:

- select clip (or clips)
- press F2 to open dialog box
(appearing next to cursor with text highlighted/selected)
- rename clip(s)
- press enter/return

Hi, I'd like to share this I've found past week (I'm using CbB 2018.06).
If one hits 'Play' on a project he will be able to rename a clip by right clicking over it. That will open a menu with the 'Rename clip' option. :  )
 

Good spot!
 
I wonder why it's only available when the project is playing though?
 
Seems a bit odd

Yes, when I tried to use it again it didn't show on the context menu. It took a while to figure it out.
