Renaming the current file in Vim

Question

How should I rename my current file in Vim?

For example:

• I am editing person.html_erb_spec.rb
• I would like it renamed to person

Answer 1

:!mv % %:h/new_name

Register % contains the name of the current file.'%:h'shows the directory 'head' containing the current file, e.g.: %:hreturns /abc/def when your file full path is abc/def/my.txt
