Perhaps others can give ideas for some more mcedit optimisations. Firstly, here's one that I often use, to clean up USEnet lines >> which have > become badly formatted, due to unintended line-breaks. ---> "Format paragraph M-p" takes the marked block and does: [I'm writing this from a bad memory] remove all ">" = sed ... | replace all EOL with <space> = tr ... | fold the lines at word-breaks [default len < 80] = `fold` then I've got something to reinsert the ">" ... ">>>" as per the original FIRST line; --- How would you [without going via : Format paragraph M-p]: delete the next [on this line]: "[" string "]". ?? -- Manually, you'd use the <F7> key: twice. And the key-macro of your manual-steps, is no good because it stops for the <F7>'s input/s. -- Perhaps: Ctl-o = to get access to shell q = call a script that shows a menu [ = select the filter which deletes : "[" string "]" will do it ? But no, since <Format paragraph M-p> needs the line to be 'marked'; which is already 2 key-strokes. -- We want ONE key-stroke to do oft-repeated tasks: like mc has already got, except we want to add/extend our OWN needs. The key-macro facility is good, except that it stops for F7's argument.
