# Rename A File Through netrw
You can browse files in a directory through Vim using netrw. This can be done
by _editing_ a directory with Vim:
```bash
$ vim src/
```
You'll see a listing of the files and directories in `src`:
```
app/
index.js
README.md
utils/
```
You can move your cursor over one of those files and hit `R` to rename it. A
prompt will appear at the bottom of your Vim session with the file's current
name spelled out. You can edit inline and then hit enter to apply the renaming.
