Just adding to this post. I agree having some sort of shortcut to name layers would be great. I use sketch frequently on mac and you can rename layers by pressing (command + r). I use this feature frequently, when I add a new element to a design I'm almost always immediately naming the layer before during or after placing it. This also makes the workflow move much more smoothly since you don't have to go clicking around.
That does not explain why the text is invisible, since it still has a 100% opaque red fill color. When I try this with this Contour text fill issue.afdesign file, & set the radius to anything other than zero, the text becomes invisible if & only if I do this to the "Not OK" text layer in the Artboard. This does not happen with the "OK" layer that is not contained in the "Artboard1" layer, so I think it is a bug.
Another possible bug with this tool is that the status bar says I can use the Option key ⌥ to clone the object & apply the contour to it but that does not seem to be working for me.
EDIT: Also please note that both text layers are Artistic Text objects, not Frame Text objects, so this may be different from the previously reported bug(s) that occur with the Contour Tool & Frame Text objects.
