Let's try it. > > I added this key binding. I think `C-x C-q' is a good key binding, but it has one problem. For users who have a habit typing `C-x C-q' repeatedly to switch between editable and read-only states, typing `C-x C-q' in wdired mode will put the dired buffer into the confusing state: the mode line still says "Editable Dired", but the buffer is read-only now. Users who don't notice %%-characters in the mode line might have a hard time finding out what happened. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
