That's what I was thinking of. But the use case Richard raised is also useful - it avoids needing to quit, unmark, and resume. Perhaps there could be two different keys, one to skip to the next file and the other to unmark this file and skip to the next. More or less the same thing applies to `A', I think. But the UI is different, so the solution might be different.
