Value

t

Documentation

Controls marking of files renamed in WDired.

If t, files keep their previous marks when they are renamed. If a character, renamed files (whether previously marked or not) are afterward marked with that character. This option affects only files renamed by wdired-finish-edit. See dired-keep-marker-rename if you want to do the same for files renamed by dired-do-rename and dired-do-rename-regexp.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 24.3.
