+#!/bin/sh
+
+# Allow bulk operations on a list of selected files.
+
+# Requires: dmenu (or similar), trash (optional), open-file (for open only)
+
+# Usage: sel [-m menu] [command]
+# If no command is specified, shows the list of selected files
+# Commands:
+#	add [files...]: add files to selection
+#	addall: add all files in the current folder to selection
+#	clear: clear selection
+#	cp: copy to current dir, possbily after editing filenames
+#	edit: open selection in editor
+#	mv: move to current dir, possbily after editing filenames
+#	open: open files using open-file
+#	rm: remove selected files and clear selection
+
+# TODO: The usage of paste(1) is a bit of a hack, and for example it does
+# not work if filenames contain tab characters. Fix this.
+
+# Bug (probably not fixing this, use virename): moving a file to
+# itself gives an error and rm is not run.
