qmv

Move files and directories using the default text editor to define the filenames.

TLDR

Move a single file (open an editor with the source filename on the left and the target filename on the right)

$ qmv [source_file]
copy


Move multiple JPG files
$ qmv [*.jpg]
copy


Move multiple directories
$ qmv -d [path/to/directory1] [path/to/directory2] [path/to/directory3]
copy


Move all files and directories inside a directory
$ qmv --recursive [path/to/directory]
copy


Move files, but swap the positions of the source and the target filenames in the editor
$ qmv --option swap [*.jpg]
copy


Rename all files and folders in the current directory, but show only target filenames in the editor (you can think of it as a kind of simple mode)
$ qmv --format=do .
copy
