Does somebody remember the story of different marks?
I mean, Dired has D for flagging for deletion, * for marking for most
other operations, and a command to change one mark to another. Ibuffer
has D for killing and > for other operations.
Most other file managers have just one kind of mark and it works the
same way for copying, moving, and deleting.
I wonder how and why that feature evolved?
