I see no reason not to add the binding suggested in the commentary
in wdired.el:

(define-key dired-mode-map "r" 'wdired-change-to-wdired-mode)

BTW, wdired deactivates [return] keys by an empty function.
Since dired doesn't works well with newlines in file names,
these keys could be bound to `wdired-finish-edit'.  While
using C-c C-c to finish wdired mode might be more correct,
typing RET looks more natural to finish renaming one file.
