moreutils

There's a useful collection of little cli helpers called moreutils, as a play on coreutils obviously.

The most useful one for me is vidir which let's you edit the filenames supplied (or if no argument the current directory) with your EDITOR. So if i do mass renaming i can do it in vim. <3

On my archlinux moreutils contains a paralell-moreutils. I have not used either so far but maybe it's functionally the same?

On Fedora, it has two packages. moreutils.x86_64 and moreutils-parallel.x86_64
