That's exactly what I meant in the latest proposal: to implement multi-file query-replace with additional keys: a key to replace remaining occurrences in the current file, and a key to skip to the next file. How else this is possible to do given that query-replace doesn't depend on etags? > But I'd keep the single-file meaning of all keys, including `!', and use a > different key to replace all remaining occurrences in this file and the > other files. It's not good for a key (e.g. `!') to change meaning, depending > on whether one file or several are searched. `!' in single-file context means to replace all remaining occurrences that would be fine to apply the same meaning in multi-file context. Any other keys could be applied only to the current file since this is an additional separation in search-replace space. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
