Installing 1. For the current user: 2. For the current system: Or simply copy the vimv file to a location in your $PATH and make it executable. Usage 1. Go to a directory and enter vimv with optionally, a list of files to rename. 2. A Vim window will be opened with names of all files. 3. Use Vim's text editing features to edit the names of files. For example, search and replace a particular string, or use visual selection to delete a block. 4. Save and exit. Your files should be renamed now. Other features If you want to list only a group of files, you can pass them as an argument. eg: vimv .mp4 If you have an $EDITOR environment variable set, vimv will use its value by default. If you are inside a Git directory, vimv will use git mv (instead of mv ) to rename the files. You can use /some/path/filename format to move the file elsewhere during renaming. If the path is non-existent, it will be automatically created before moving. Cyclic renames are supported (file1 file2) Screencast Running tests Tests are written using bats.
