In dired, you are "editing" a list of the files in a directory and... "Editing" means that you can run shell commands on files, visit, Dan's comment: yeah well, real editing, wdired-mode, isn't mentioned. One only notices that it is bound to "r" in the list of bindings. Bad salesmanship. Indeed, most users around here (1 out of 1 :-) ), only found out about it one day when accidentally hitting "r". P.S., we do C-h k r and the final See `wdired-mode' is not middle clickable. Pleasantly surprised kill-rectangle gave what I wanted as I hesitatingly hit C-c C-c in wdired mode. "Looks like you boys are going to give Windows Directory Explorer or whatever it is called some tough competition." query-replace is neat in wdired mode too.
