After having done a tags-search on 50 or 60 files as specified by
my tags file and switching to the Buffer Menu, is there a way
to mark ALL files for deletion with one command? I would then
go the bottom of the menu and unmark the 6 or seven files which
I would want to remain.

Buffer-menu-mode and the attendant sparse keymap do not allow numbers and every press of '9' elicits a beep from the keyboard. I have added some code to buff-menu.el, but I cannot get the key to map which would execute it. Maybe someone could help. Here is the code: ADDED THE FOLLOWING LINE TO THE KEYMAP DEFINITION: (define-key Buffer-menu-mode-map "a" 'Buffer-menu-mark-all-delete) ADDED THE FOLLOWING FUNCTION DEFINITION: (defun Buffer-menu-mark-all-delete () "Mark all buffers to be deleted by \\[Buffer-menu-execute] command and move to the end of the buffer menu." (interactive) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (looking-at " [-M]") (forward-line 1)) (while (looking-at "[ .]") (Buffer-menu-delete) (forward-line 1) ) ) ADDED THE FOLLOWING TO MY .EMACS FILE SO THAT MY BUFFER MENU DEFINITIONS WOULD BE USED INSTEAD OF THE USUAL ONES. IS MY BUFF-MENU KEYMAP BEING DEFINED FIRST AND THE STANDARD ONE RE-DEFINING IT?

You might want to put the (define-key ...) in buffer-menu-mode-hook, to ensure that the keymap you're changing has been created and initialized before you modify it. --woodstock -- "What I like is when you're looking and thinking and looking and thinking...and suddenly you wake up." - Hobbes woodstock@hobbes.intel.com ...!{decwrl|hplabs!oliveb}!intelca!mipos3!nate
