Subject: what was the name of that file I just renamed?
Date: 15 Jan 2003 05:34:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k7h71kmo.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)

What was the name of that file I just renamed with R in dired?  It's
not in any minibuffer history list.  It's not in view-lossage.  Not in
*Messages*. For all I know it's in my mom's drawers.

If this were bash a mere ^P would see what the heck its old name was.
But with emacs, it's like in the sheredder, ma'am.  Great.  Now what,
directory bit dump?

Suggested solution: one would expect to pull back a line of lisp with
C-x ESC ESC, it would look like (dired-do-rename "old" "new")... ok
not that line but something similar.
