Double click to RENAME channel or track.
instead of a scroll down menu.

Well, there's CTRL+R for that, but double-click could be nice too. Also, double-clicking an empty area in the top row could create a new track - I would like that. Another alternative could be shift+double-click on a plugin to create a new track containing that plugin.

um... audio or MIDI?

I guess. But why a different behaviour for plugins as for devices?

Audio or MIDI? I guess there could be a default choice in options. Or maybe Live 10 will have hybrid tracks.

By plugins, I also meant devices. Maybe instruments in particular - I don't know. An option I'd like to see is a well-organized dropdown-list, appearing upon double-click or right-click, such as the one in Bitwig:

should especially comply to system convention, e.g. in Windows "F2" is the rename button in everyotherfuckingprogram :-)

There is already a shortcut for this though. It's not that difficult to hit cmmd-R, and it takes as much time as double clicking does... and especially since this is a feature mostly used in organizational purposes, using an already existing shortcut is surely fine?
