fun fact: you can rename default directories such as ~/Downloads and others via a file at
Code:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/user-dirs.dirs
, it's pretty straightforward:

Code:
# This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update
# If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're
# interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run.
# Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped
# homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
# absolute path. No other format is supported.
#
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/desk"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/down"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/docs"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/pics"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/vids"
XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$HOME/.config"

make sure to run
Code:
xdg-user-dirs-update
after editing the file.
