The list of names is also stored onto the variable As this command also displays what was pushed onto the kill ring you can use it to display the list of currently marked files in the echo area (unless you happen to be on a subdirectory headerline). You can then feed the file name to other Emacs commands with C-y. For example, say you want to rename a long filename to a slightly different name. First type w to push the old name onto the kill ring. Then type R to rename it and use C-y inside R's minibuffer prompt to insert the old name at a convenient place. |
