Fuzzy finder makes for searching part, but how to do the delete/rename/move for a file inside helix?

[David-Else]

To rename a file:

:move, :mv	Move the current buffer and its corresponding file to a different path

To delete and move files use terminal commands like :sh rm filename.

I came across yazi, which is being the one stop solution for all kinds of file management.

I use nnn and think it is the best file manager.

Basically you can use :move function in Helix.

To Rename:

• :mv file and rename file and enter

To Change Folder:

• open your file
• :mv your file like this

:mv /newfoldername/mytext.md 

To Delete :

1. You can :move file into /trash folder.
2. You can run-shell-command and use rm in bash.

Things have advanced now with macro key bindings, you can use these shortcuts to create a new file, delete a file and rename a file:

[keys.normal.C-space]
n = "@:o <C-r>%<C-w>"
x = "@:sh rm <C-r>%"
r = "@:sh mv <C-r>% <C-r>%"
