(See parent). > I propose: freeing & key in dired. > For that, a new key to flag garbage files in dired has to be found. I see no better key than moving the current key `&' to the `%' prefix. This prefix is intended for regexp commands. And `dired-flag-garbage-files' is a regexp command: it uses `dired-flag-files-regexp' to flag files that match `dired-garbage-files-regexp'. We could even improve the command `dired-flag-garbage-files' to allow the user to modify its default regexp value in the minibuffer after typing `% &'. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
