It would work great tho if wdired was changed so it doesn't perform the file operations but just records them for dired so a dired-execute later actually performs them. > Instead of binding C-x C-q, can it be made to use conditionalized bindings > contingent on the `buffer-read-only' variable, as modes like diff-mode do? I don't think we can do that with the current code: when switching to wdired, we store the "current state" so that at the end we can see what has changed and apply those changes. Switching only bindings is not enough. But if we change dired to constantly keep the "current state", then we could do that. Stefan
