The documentation for WebStorm says if you want to rename a file, do it in the Project Tool window. The problem is that finding a file in the Project Tool window is a hassle. If you start typing there to find the file, it won't be able to locate it unless it is in an expanded folder.

Using a Keyboard ShortcutSelect a file or folder with the arrow keys, or start typing the name. Once the file is selected, press F2 to highlight the name of the file. After you type in a new name, press the Enter key to save the new name.
There is no way to rename file right from the editor. Try Navigate/Select In.../Project view to open a file in Project Tool window and then use Refactor/rename in its right-click menu You can also enable the 'Autoscroll from source' Project tool window option to have the currently opened file auto-selected in the project tree
Also, Refactor/rename is available in file right-click menu in the Navigation Bar if it's enabled (View/Navigation bar)
