;;; Commentary:

;; wdired.el (the "w" is for writable) provides an alternative way of
;; renaming files.
;;
;; Have you ever wished to use C-x r t (string-rectangle), M-%
;; (query-replace), M-c (capitalize-word), etc... to change the name of
;; the files in a "dired" buffer? Now you can do this.  All the power
;; of Emacs commands are available to renaming files!
;;
;; This package provides a function that makes the filenames of a
;; dired buffer editable, by changing the buffer mode (which inhibits
;; all of the commands of dired mode). Here you can edit the names of
;; one or more files and directories, and when you press C-c C-c, the
;; renaming takes effect and you are back to dired mode.
;;
;; Another things you can do with WDired:
;;
;; - To move files to another directory (by typing their path,
;;   absolute or relative, as a part of the new filename).
;;
;; - To change the target of symbolic links.
;;
;; - To change the permission bits of the filenames (in systems with a
;;   working unix-alike `dired-chmod-program'). See and customize the
;;   variable `wdired-allow-to-change-permissions'.  To change a single
;;   char (toggling between its two more usual values) you can press
;;   the space bar over it or left-click the mouse.  To set any char to
;;   an specific value (this includes the SUID, SGID and STI bits) you
;;   can use the key labeled as the letter you want.  Please note that
;;   permissions of the links cannot be changed in that way, because
;;   the change would affect to their targets, and this would not be
;;   WYSIWYG :-).
;;
;; - To mark files for deletion, by deleting their whole filename.

;;; Usage:

;; You can edit the names of the files by typing C-x C-q or by
;; executing M-x wdired-change-to-wdired-mode.  Use C-c C-c when
;; finished or C-c C-k to abort.  While editing filenames, a new
;; submenu "WDired" is available at top level.  You can customize the
;; behavior of this package from this menu.

;;; Change Log:

;; Google is your friend (previous versions with complete changelogs
;; were posted to gnu.emacs.sources)

you can keep the <x> key pressed to give execution permissions to
everybody to that file.
