vimv VS ranger

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.

Came to post zoxide. Also if you use `ranger`[1] (vim inspired file manager) then you might like to add the `ranger-zoxide` plugin[2].

This looks cool, though I already use https://github.com/ranger/ranger for this.

This feature is rarely seen in Linux file managers. I would recommend the CLI file manager ranger. If you need a GUI tool, you should have a look at pantheon files, the file manager of ElementaryOS.

Someone opened an issue about this. Might want to follow that.

Hi! I am using ranger file manager terminal as its best through all i had used, but i have a weird problem and i want to ask you maybe you know how to solve it because my knowledge have limits on this topic even though i researched a bit.

How about ranger

I wrote a ranger integration plugin for myself and I thought I would share.

It adapts ranger in neovim. It is very cool to have so much control, plus the previews.
