I do not know ranger, but I personally use vimv. Source: about 1 year ago

There are a lot of tools dedicated to this. My past favourite is vimv [1]. However, for me this operation is so rare that having a separate command just for mass-renaming files does not seem to be justified. [1]: https://github.com/thameera/vimv. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

It's inspired by vimv which is a bulk-rename utility that uses vim. Source: over 2 years ago

I find myself using vimv quite a lot as I need to rename files on regular basis. It's a bulk renamer that uses vim. I also just created a similar tool for bulk removing files virm. The motivation was that one time when I opened vimv and deleted a line and expected it to delete that file xD. Source: over 2 years ago

Brn is a command line tool similar to vimv. It can be used to easily mass-rename files in your preferred text editor. Source: over 2 years ago

You can try to use mconnect as a replacement for kdeconnect. Source: about 2 years ago

Mconnect combined with KDE Connect. Send files (or directories recursively!) in either direction easily; send clipboard text both ways, open URLs in either direction, control your mouse from your phone, sync alerts, see your battery... Source: over 2 years ago

You could take a look at mconnect. Already existing Vala solution which is not maintained anymore. Source: about 3 years ago
