  1. This is interesting, and I'm wondering if someone has done a plugin for vim already and if not what it would take to do so. However, I've come to like using ctrl-z to break out of vim and then use fg to hop back in, and from the terminal I've got the rename Perl script installed. As a bonus, since it allows multiple regexes per invocation, I can correct the ill-formed foo{1..25}.txt into foo000{1..9}.txt and foo00{10..25}.txt, which is the preferable format. Also, as a note if you want to more quickly create a bunch of test files, you can just use `touch foo{1..25}.txt` to create them in one step using only one command.
