First off, you're a legend Phil. Thanks for the great work on this library.

Fern.vim has this really cool action where if multiple files are selected and you start a rename action it opens a buffer with each path on a line, then, once saved, it moves each one to the new path from its line.

This is a long shot, but do you think something like this would be possible with nerdtree?

That's a neat idea, but I don't have the bandwidth to take it on right now. I'd be willing to accept a pull request if you or anyone else wants to tackle it.
