Rename file

The file renaming function is built into CLEX as a tool for sanitizing file names containing characters or byte sequences not valid in the current locale or encoding, because it is impossible to insert such names into the command line without character conversion errors.

This function can be used also for regular in-place file renaming.

The renaming itself is straightforward: put the cursor bar on a file to be renamed, press alt-R, enter a new name and press <enter>.
