vscode but for file names

quick script that helps you mass-edit file names with vscode

motivation: i wanted to multi-cursor edit my file names but didn't see anything that let me do that

install vscode (optional), and python 3
install the package using pip: pip install vs-rename
open the program ren-vs. if no arguments for path are supplied it will use the cwd
vscode will open with a list of the file names in that directory. change those as you please
save the file and close it
the files will be renamed according to how you changed it in vscode
hopefully nothing broke
