In WDired mode, you can edit the names of the files in the
buffer, the target of the links, and the permission bits of the
files.

Type C-c C-c to exit WDired mode, returning to
Dired mode, and make your edits "take effect" by modifying the
file and directory names, link targets, and/or file permissions
on disk. If you delete the filename of a file, it is flagged for
deletion in the Dired buffer.

Type C-c ESC to abort your edits and exit WDired mode.

The only editable texts in a WDired buffer are filenames,
