> When you use renameutils in --format=destination-only (`-f do`) mode, you just get a list of current file names in your text editor. You change them to the new names you desire and when you save the text file (and exit) the rename is completed. If you make such an error that you don't want the changes to apply you exit the text editor without saving. |

Ha, I didn’t know that, thanks. If it became necessary to do a search and |
| 21 |
replace, I block-selected the first column and cut it into a register, anothe |
| 22 |
buffer, or just deleted it away and at the end of editing, refetched the list |
| 23 |
of files using :r !ls. |
