vimv VS lf

I do not know ranger, but I personally use vimv

There are a lot of tools dedicated to this. My past favourite is vimv [1].

However, for me this operation is so rare that having a separate command just for mass-renaming files does not seem to be justified.

Just use vidir. Also see here: https://github.com/thameera/vimv/issues/3

… also of vimv.

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

It's inspired by vimv which is a bulk-rename utility that uses vim.

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.

I've tried using LF in the past, but it didn't stick. Will definitely give this a go, as I'm trying to move to an pure terminal workflow as closely as possible.

Hi. fff, lf, clifm Won't say they're best or not, rather interesting and maybe worth looking at. Looked up for the z in termux's repos and it's called "zoxide" there.

in the Github page for lf under etc, you can find instruction for making such a function for bash and fish.

I recently discovered an amazing terminal file manager (lf). The package is available for most mainstream distros but not for openSUSE.

For me, the main program missing is "lf" the ranger inspired terminal file manager. 5000 stars on Github, packaged in the official repos for basically anything under the sun except Fedora and a key part in my day-to-day workflow. https://github.com/gokcehan/lf
