I don't think your patch goes in the spirit of the ellipsis rule.

The point of having an ellipsis is that you're not committing to the action by triggering it, that's why usually we say that if there's a dialog afterwards we want the ellipsis. In this case the ellipsis applies because by selecting rename we're not changing anything. It's when we press enter that we're committing to the rename action.
