Midnight commander does not allow edit. Well, it does, in a cumbersome manner.
You mean you can't script it as with sed? I don't find it cumbersome at all doing files one by one. Shift-F6 in GUI, Shift-F4 on ttys. I'm not going to rename the originals. Then Shift-F5 or Shift-F3 instead.
^F5. Did not know that variant. Yes, that would do. But David Haller method is perfect :-D
How many files are you dealing with, and why do they have character names that are not universally supported across all popular filesystems?
Because it is my choice.
Certainly your choice to make, but to me among the worst of annoyances when I have to fix someone else's broken system, or trying to explain why what they want can't work. It's not something I'd wish upon anyone I'm trying to instruct, a bad example for letting anyone think to try.
It is perfect for me. I name the files in the manner that make sense to me. They are names. If the filesystem or the operating system can not handle names, the filesystem or the operating system is rubbish. I'm looking at Windows. :-P -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
