feature request: moving files between directories through renaming #350

Closed jokesper closed 2 months ago

Did you check existing requests?

[X] I have searched the existing issues

Describe the feature

I would like better support for filenames containing slashes (relative paths):

moving to (new) subdirectory (bar -> foo/bar)
moving to parent directory (bar -> ../bar)

Provide background

Cutting and Pasting files feels wierd, since I often want to remain in the original directory.

What is the significance of this feature?

nice to have

Additional details

.. is commonly used to refer to either:

strip last path component
the .. symlink (useful when following relative links inside symlinked directories) I don't think the second option is relevant for oil.nvim
