Sorely missing from vanilla Dired, indeed. But it's been a feature of Dired+ since at least 1999, and probably several years before that. And I've offered that and all other features of Dired+ to Emacs Dev multiple times. Still sorely missing, though. 1. `S-mouse-1' marks all of the files in the region (no need for it to be active). This is like Windows Explorer: click a file, S-click another file, to mark them both and all between them. And `C-mouse-1' marks/unmarks the clicked file, also as in Windows Explorer. 2. `mouse-3' with an active region brings up a menu which includes items `Mark', `Unmark', `Toggle Marked/Unmarked', and `Flag for Deletion'. There are of course individual region commands to do each of those things - not bound to any keys by default. The mouse is handy enough - drag to select, then act on the selected files. Provided you use a mouse. ;-) Screenshots & info here, if anyone is interested: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/DiredPlus > Currently marking a long list of files by pressing `m' > and holding it as long as the cursor eventually arrives > to the last file is too tedious (and the numeric prefix > doesn't help when the exact number of files to mark is not known). > > Now with the following patch it's possible to mark a list of files > with normal region selection (and using isearch to speed it up) > and type `m' (or `u' to unmark) just once. Now it's possible, indeed. 1999.
