I have got a feeling you have not get really what is taking place:
1. Dired mode
2. Come on any file or directory, not executable
3. Press ! or &
4. Press ENTER
5. Get error, it can be different, depending of situation. Like
/usr/bin/bash: line 1: admin_Leo: command not found where "admin_Leo"
is directory
I cannot see in the documentation that ! or & in Dired is supposed to
run that specific marked file as COMMAND. I can understand that
command is asked and user should enter the command. But I do not see
that the marked file is supposed to be executed as COMMAND when
command is not manually entered by user.
Why is Emacs trying to execute a directory?
Why is Emacs trying to execute non-executable file?
- documentation of the function should maybe reflect that ! or & is
meant to execute the marked file or current file in Dired if no
COMMAND is supplied manually.
- Emacs should stop trying to execute directories or non executable
files.
