I’ve just pushed three commits that 1. Add “o555” as an octal shorthand 2. Perform a simple check that integer modes are valid* 3. Make the ls-style regex stricter > Timothy, I really admire your patience, and your incredibly friendly way > of doing things :) Thanks. It helps that this list is fairly friendly to begin with :) All the best, Timothy * For example, “:tangle-mode 755” will now produce the warning: “1363 is not a valid file mode octal. Did you give the decimal value 755 by mistake?”. Maybe it would be worth adding “if so try o755” or similar?
