Renaming a file or directory while using in the terminal is pretty easy and simple. Simply use the “mv” command adding the original file or directory followed by a space then the new name.

mv /home/user/oldname /home/user/newname

#rename #terminal #xfce4terminal #linux #unix #commandline

Some people might not know this, but xfce4-terminal can be launched in a quake style drop-down mode. Here's the command.

xfce4-terminal —drop-down

You can easily make it more accessible by binding the above command to a keyboard shortcut.

• Open “xfce4-setting-manager” from your menu or application finder....
