I agree that this makes sense if you want to edit one filename at a time, and then commit this change immediately. However, if you edit multiple filenames using, e.g., replace-string, replace-regexp, string-rectangle (or whatever), then I think it's reasonable to have something like C-c C-c to commit these changes. > (3) Similarly, in analogy to other systems, it might be nice if > there was some obvious visual indication that wdired was active and > filenames "open for editting" -- e.g., if the filenames looked like > a customize-style "input field" (one might even use the same > abstract face for both, e.g. define an `input-field' face, and have > customize inherit from it). I think it would be useful to have some visual cue for filenames that have been changed but not committed. Even more so if it becomes possible to commit changes for single filenames (with RET) without exiting wdired-mode. Matt
