I meant other commands like `dired-next-line', just for comparison.

But it's rather convenient to keep in memory that:
1) First mark files you want to process. To augment mark behaviour
(e.g. mark all files in a subdir) specify prefix arg to the mark command
or use a corresponding specific command.
2) Perform search/replace. To augment search/replace behavior (like
toggle word searching) you have to specify prefix argument to the
search/replace command.

Yes, my comment was just a note.
