Another problem I have with `Q' is that it requires typing `!' in every file to replace all occurrences. So if I want to replace all occurrences in ALL marked files at once without a query, I need typing `!' as many times as there are marked files. Maybe, when started by `Q', query-replace should apply `!' to all marked files, and a new key `Y' should replace all remaining occurrences in the current file, and a new key `N' should skip the current file as Miles has already proposed. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
