Explorer in windows 11 is truly death by a thousand needles.

Today I was manually sorting a bunch of files into folders that I had opened as tabs.

Drag file over tab, tab move and I now activate wrong tab.

Second try: drag file to where tab isn’t, such that the tab moves to where my mouse is. I now activate correct tab and can move the file to the designated folder. Single click the file and select a different file because file ends up at bottom of list when released, and then gets sorted after a second or two.

Click F2 to start renaming the file, click left to deselect and move cursor to the beginning of file name. Start adding text, only for the entire string to get selected and everything overwritten.

What a shit show.

These issues have been the bane of my existence lately, especially your F2 renaming example.
