Rename file

Although this function can be used for regular file renaming, it is not intended for this purpose. It is recommended to use the mv command (the <F6> key) whenever possible.

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 and/or encoding, because it is impossible to insert such names into the command line without character conversion errors.

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