Simply press the F2 key and Lightroom will present you with a dialog box that will allow you to rename all your selected files. It even gives you access to all your file naming templates.

This is a terrific tip. Reading Adobe's online help doesn't seem to push this simple one-key solution as an obvious answer, but instead refers you to import and export options. What I wanted was, having imported a shoot, to be able to rename 'in situ'. This does it. Thank you!
