This is an implementation of [itchyny/mmv](https://github.com/itchyny/mmv) in C. It allows the user to open an item in their filesystem, such as a file or directory, in `$EDITOR` and modify the item's name.
Actually no, ranger has its own implementation. Quite a while ago I proposed to replace it with vidir, but we never got around to pulling the trigger. The relevant issue/patch: https://github.com/ranger/ranger/pull/1058
… also of vimv.
I just want to mention another excellent alternative not yet mentioned in the comments: edir, available via PyPI.
There is one more similarly named utility written in C. It has been apt installable from many years. https://github.com/rrthomas/mmv
