Quickly rename a batch of files in your default text editor

batch-rename

Quickly rename a batch of files in your default text editor.

Takes in a list of filenames on the command line, which are copied into the default text editor, and renames the files based on edits done to the filenames.

Example

Running the command:

batch-rename foo bar baz

opens a text editor with:

foo
bar
baz

and changing any of the filenames causes those files to be renamed when the editor is closed.
