Renaming the current file in Vim

Question

How should I rename my current file in Vim?

For example:

• I am editing person.html_erb_spec.rb
• I would like it renamed to person

Answer 1

Another way is to just use netrw, which is a native part of vim.

:e path/to/whatever/folder/

Then there are options to delete, rename, etc.

Here's a keymap to open netrw to the folder of the file you are editing:

map e :e =expand("%:p:h") . '/'
