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
replace, I block-selected the first column and cut it into a register, anothe
buffer, or just deleted it away and at the end of editing, refetched the list
of files using :r !ls.
PS.: This mail was written in vi because I left KMail out of frustration for
the time being. ;-)
