Make refactoring files/folders easier

[sangdth]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. After a while, the project usually need to be refactored. It requires a lot of creating/moving/renaming folders. The repetitive makes me less productive.

Describe the solution you'd like The ability to select files/folders, then combine with next action.

Example of using:

• I select a folder /example (with lot of files/folders inside it)
• Run refactor, type new name new-folder
• The structure now is /new-folder/example/...

Another example of using I posted in discussion https://github.com/kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua/discussions/1232

Describe alternatives you've considered Another "lite" version could be add-and-move the current file/folder that the cursor is staying on top.

• Move the cursor on top of a file, /example.ts.
• Run add-and-move, type new-folder/
• The new structure will be /new-folder/example.ts

Additional context I will update when I can have more information of it.
