E.g. "U" in dired unmarks all marked items, but in ibuffer it does "replace regexp". "u" on the other hand acts the same in both modes. In my opinion the modes are so similar in their use cases that users should expect the keybindings to be much more similar than they are today, at least for such basic things such as unmarking items. So why are there so many differences between them? -- Deniz Dogan
