embark-collect: Add column in front for marker character

Open minad opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Dired puts a dired-marker-char in front of marked files. Ibuffer does the same. Maybe we should also add such an indicator to Embark Collect?

Sure, now that grid view is dead, this is probably a better option, more Emacsy.

Well, I would also keep the overlay/background. The indicator char in front is just another addition to align the Embark buffer a little more with Dired.

Oh, yes, I meant to keep the special face as well, just like dired and ibuffer, which use both a character and a face.

There is a tabulated-list-put-tag function that one can use for this purpose.

Now that we use the new selection functionality instead, I think I don't want a marker character, for uniformity with regular buffers where I certainly don't want such a character.
