I just want to mention another excellent alternative not yet mentioned in the comments: edir, available via PyPI.

I use vimv in lf for bulk renames. https://github.com/thameera/vimv

I find myself using vimv quite a lot as I need to rename files on regular basis. It's a bulk renamer that uses vim. I also just created a similar tool for bulk removing files virm. The motivation was that one time when I opened vimv and deleted a line and expected it to delete that file xD.

brn is a command line tool similar to vimv. It can be used to easily mass-rename files in your preferred text editor.
