Wouldn't it be great if there were a keystroke at this point to insert the current filename... as we probably just want to make minor adjustments to it. Sure we can use M-p and M-n, they will give us recent choices but not the current filename in question. I hit C-h m there and see I am in Fundamental mode, thus no tips about neat keystrokes available, not even M-n, M-p. Wait, if I do C-x C-w C-h b I can see some stuff like ESC v [odd, I thought we were supposed to call it M-v] Ok, but still no current filename appender. Currently the best we can do is hit w in dired before we get here. Note there are the current filename we are on (in dired), and the actual current filename (for C-x C-w) -- two different origins of my desired "current filename". Oh, I just tried ESC v, and sure it helps a little with picking out the current filename, but it also doesn't give you a chance to then edit it. its just wham bam thank you maam. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
