Emacs' dired-sort-toggle-or-edit, "With a prefix argument you can edit the current listing switches instead" needs a more general method where one can pipe the results of a shell command instead of only being "allowed" to change some ls switches. (P.S., Gmane readers: I'm posting to both bug-gnu-emacs and bug-coreutils, which will trigger a gmane.org bug making this post not appear in the indexes of gmane's web interface.) _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
