Subject: Dired: how to mark with other character but *
Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2021 07:18:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <courier.0000000060164B9D.00007B5F@stw1.rcdrun.com> (raw)
I would like to use this specific workflow in Dired like following:
- I am reviewing videos, so I have to use in Dired either ! or & to
review a video
- I wish to mark specific videos for later referencing
- if I mark it with `m' then the next invocation of ! or & will
operate on marked files. Right now I am memorizing which videos are
to be marked, and not use Emacs to help me
- if ! operates only on files marked as * then I could as a solution
mark files with some other character, let us say V but I wish to
know how to do it
- Later, those files marked with V character I could replace to *
character to operate on such videos, that I know how to do from the
manual
What I do not find in the manual is how to mark files with some other
character. That is what would make my above envisioned workflow
useful.
Jean
