There is such a way right now: M-> M-, More than good enough for me. A natural interface for this would be to unmark each file just before starting to search that file. Then, quitting the command and resuming it will skip that file. Yes, but the file would stay unmarked. If I mark files, I often want to perform several operations in sequence on them. Anyway, quitting and resuming seems at least at much work as M-> M-, (which is only two keystrokes to begin with). Sincerely, Luc.
