@pikin-cock It's better to use absolute path like this:

    "r")
        name="$(dmenu -p "rename $file to: ")" 2> /dev/null
        if ! [ -z "$name" ]; then
            #mv "$file" "$name"
            mv "$file" "$(dirname $file)/$name"
        fi
        ;;

Not builtin, but you can use the keyhandler and possibly something like
zenity to create a dialog.

This in your keyhandler should do it

    "r")
            name="$(dmenu -p "rename $file to: ")" 2> /dev/null
            if ! [ -z "$name" ]; then
                mv "$file" "$name"
            fi
            ;;
