easier renaming and moving of files in vim

_readme.md

Simple function that makes moving and renaming files in Vim much easier.

Usage

Place it in your ~/.vimrc.

I'm calling it with <leader>N here, map it to anything you like.

rename.vim

function! RenameFile()
    let old_name = expand('%')
    let new_name = input('New file name: ', expand('%'), 'file')
    if new_name != '' && new_name != old_name
        exec ':saveas ' . new_name
        exec ':silent !rm ' . old_name
        redraw!
    endif
endfunction

map <leader>N :call RenameFile()<cr>
