Is there an emacs command which would apply a kbd macro to every file in dired?
e.g. query-replace-regexp has dired-do-query-replace-regexp
I'm looking for a dired-do-call-last-kbd-macro

A:
C-h f dired-do-query-replace-regexp reveals the code for this:
(dolist (file (dired-get-marked-files nil nil 'dired-nondirectory-p))
(let ((buffer (get-file-buffer file)))
(if (and buffer (with-current-buffer buffer
buffer-read-only))
(error "File `%s' is visited read-only" file))))
I'd just make some elisp that does what you want using this as a template

That is only the part that displays an error message. The part that does the replacing is this:(tags-query-replace from to delimited '(dired-get-marked-files nil nil 'dired-nondirectory-p))But the code you posted is probably better to base the code on anyway.

Another option is to do this:
- go to the top of your dired buffer
- Record Macro
- Press enter to visit the file
- M-x kmacro-call-ring-2nd
- C-x o (other buffer)
- Down a line
- Stop Recording
- C-u 0 C-x e (call-last-keyboard-macro till the end of the file)

Interesting, but you shold not that you need to load kmacro first (a library I had never seen before).
