How about giving wdired-change-to-wdired-mode a key binding in Dired
mode? Craig Muth suggested `r', but there may be an even more natural
choice.

`E' as in `Editable file names' seems apt.
I think that wdired-mode has the potential of being "destructive" if
turned on unexpectedly by pressing the wrong key. Using a two-key
combination (i.e., Shift+Key) is more safe, IMHO.

What's the problem with C-x C-q?
,----[ C-h f dired-toggle-read-only RET ]
| dired-toggle-read-only is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
| `dired.el'.
|
| (dired-toggle-read-only)
|
| Edit dired buffer with Wdired, or set it read-only.
| Call `wdired-change-to-wdired-mode' in dired buffers whose editing is
| supported by Wdired (the major mode of the dired buffer is `dired-mode').
| Otherwise, for buffers inheriting from dired-mode, call `toggle-read-only'.

I think we already decided on a binding for this, C-x C-q. I use it all the
time. Before the decision I used "r".

How about [remap toggle-read-only] and [remap vc-toggle-read-only] instead?
