Move files and directories using the default text editor to define the filenames. More information: <https://www.nongnu.org/renameutils/>.

• Move a single file (open an editor with the source filename on the left and the target filename on the right):
  qmv source_file
• Move multiple JPG files:
  qmv *.jpg
• Move multiple directories:
  qmv -d path/to/directory1 path/to/directory2 path/to/directory3
• Move all files and directories inside a directory:
  qmv --recursive path/to/directory
• Move files, but swap the positions of the source and the target filenames in the editor:
  qmv --option swap *.jpg
• Rename all files and folders in the current directory, but show only target filenames in the editor (you can think of it as a kind of simple mode):
  qmv --format=do .
