# Allow bulk operations on a list of selected files.
# Usage: sel [command]
# If no command is specified, shows the list of selected files
# Commands:
#	add [files|dirs|all]: add files 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

# Requires: dmenu (or similar), trashrm (optional), open-file (for open only)

# TODO: add possibility of specifying file.
# TODO 2: 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.
