Description

I am not sure if this is the expected behavior, but if you use [Right Click on file in Explorer]->Rename... to rename an ipynp file, the paired .py file does not change. I didn't see an extension specific command to rename paired files either.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the VSCode rename command handling for paired files in the jupytext sync extension. Look at how the rename event is captured and whether the paired .py file is also updated. Consider using the `vscode.workspace.onDidRenameFiles` event or overriding the rename command.
