Description
Created attachment 293696 screenshot
The current system for renaming in the sheet manager dialog (see attached screenshot) feels very convoluted, as if changing names was a very dangerous operation that required multiple barriers to prevent you from doing it by mistake... there are "current name" and "new name" columns and a warning that name changed and a dedicated "apply name changes" button, which takes a huge amount of horizontal space on some locales (such as French).
I would like to suggest having no such button, and having only one "Name" column containing the editable entries (similar to what's in the current "New name" column). You change the name and you're done, it applies directly, plain and simple. It's not like this is a nuclear missile launch command, it's just renaming a sheet! People can put back the old name if they don't like what they just typed :)
Bonus: doing these simplifications will save around 40-50% of the used width of the dialog, and will prevent needless scrolling.
