qmv

Move files and directories with your favorite text editor. More information: https://www.nongnu.org/renameutils/.

• Move a single file (invoke an editor with source on the left, target on the right):

qmv {{source_file}}

• Move multiple JPG files:

qmv {{*.jpg}}

• Move 3 directories:

qmv -d {{path/to/dir_1}} {{path/to/dir_2}} {{path/to/dir_3}}

• Move files/directories inside a directory:

qmv -R {{path/to/directory}}

• Move files, but swap the positions of the source and the target in the editor:

qmv --option swap {{*.jpg}}
