Description

User case:

I try to rename my copy using F2. Problem: I rename the wrong file (because I can't see the full name). So, I want to move on to the next files using the keyboard key (I don't know what it's called, the one above SHIFT LOCK). PyIode thinks I renamed the variable to a name that already exists (even though I just canceled the process) and asks me if I want to overwrite it.

I press "No" and the file is then completely overwritten. Obviously, it doesn't appear in my computer's Recycle Bin (but luckily I made a copy beforehand). I should have pressed "Yes" to prevent the file from disappearing, but it wasn't obvious at first.
