    qmv -f do ${dir}

    … for quickly moving and renaming files. The default ‘qmv’ opens up your preferred text editor with a list of the source and destination name of the directory of files you want to move/rename. The ‘-f do’ tells the command we only want to see/edit the [d]estination [o]nly. If you need to rename/move a bunch of files, it’s much quicker to do it in vim (at least for me).
