why not using the vscode rename api

[brandonxiang]

such as

vscode.commands.executeCommand('editor.action.rename', )

because I want to batch rename, also I need to change the imports in the codebase.

it'd be nice if this was possible, but it seems that vscode is like this by design

@brandonxiang because editor.action.rename only starts the rename process (it doesn't accept a destination filepath).

That would be so very useful! I inherited a codebase with shitty file naming standards, and I want to change all of it but this extension is currently not an option for this reason.

Does this help maybe?
