Anyway, perhaps more people than just me think like this, so it would be more comfortable for them, too.

I agree with Thomas here: I don't see a reason to make it harder for users to exit the dialog then it needs to be. 'Esc' would of course work too but (speaking for myself) I also tended to just press 'Return' in the case Thomas' described as I know that I did not change anything and just wanted to "confirm" that the name is already fine.

Then you'd like to hit enter to confirm your choice, but that doesn't work, as the "Ok"-button is disabled until you change the file/folder name. I thought about creating a bug report on this, but then changing it myself was easier than I expected :D
