Subject: Selection-set editing without VC-dired
Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2007 09:36:06 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071230143606.CE55DCF80BA@golux.thyrsus.com> (raw)
(Apologies if this appears as a resend. I'm having hardware and
Postfix-configuration troubles this morning and I think my first
attempt bounced.)
The selection-set editing commands I proposed in a reply to David
Kastrup would be easy to implement. However, on reflection, I am
not at all sure doing so would be wise design.
In general, I think it is better to have one UI method that works well
than lots of semi-gratuitous knobs and switches. And I might want to
use C-x v + and C-x v - for something else someday.
So, I'm not outright rejecting the idea of a non-VC-Dired UI for
specifying selection sets. But I think it would be better for
now if I continued to focus on making VC-Dired so fast that
you won't really want or need an alternate set-editing method.
I expect to capture another substantial speed gain in the
next rewrite. I'd have done this already, but I've been a
bit distracted by the holiday social round.
