Use Move, (m)ove the current node in the m menu to rename.

Is there a way to rename it without typing out the full path a 2nd time? – Alexander Tsepkov May 01 '20 at 18:25
Note: it does not update the imports of other files. – Gabriel Beauchemin-Dauphinais Apr 22 '21 at 02:19
Just to clarify, when you pick a node in the tree, then press "m" to reveal the hidden menu. This is crazy! – windmaomao Feb 07 '22 at 15:40

Just to clarify @iMom0's answer:

To rename a file in NerdTree, navigate to it, then press mm.

It will open a prompt with the old full path already written for you, which you can modify to type the new name of the file.
