This simple command line utility lets you batch-rename files from the comfort of your favourite text editor. You specify the files to be renamed as arguments, e.g.
$ vimv *.mp3
The list of files will be opened in the editor specified by the $EDITOR environment variable, one filename per line. Edit the list, save, and exit. The files will be renamed to the edited filenames.
Vimv is written in Rust — if you have a Rust compiler available you can install it directly from the package index using cargo:
$ cargo install vimv
