In OS X Lion Finder you can rename a file with just one click by holding down the Option (Alt) key.
This trick only works in List and Columns views.
In my book this method beats the carefully timed double click that is otherwise required to rename a file.

This actually works in icon view also. Cool tip.
Yes, but your icon has to be selected first, which makes it two clicks. :)
As Ivan pointed out, this does NOT work in icon view, but what does work is single click + Enter key quickly.
