This is the start of defun of dired-do-touch in dired-aux.el

(defun dired-do-touch (&optional arg)
  "Change the timestamp of the marked (or next ARG) files.
This calls touch.
Type Type \\<minibuffer-local-completion-map>\\[next-history-element] \
to pull the file attributes of the file at point
into the minibuffer."

The last three lines of the docstring make no sense to me because:

1. "Type" is repeated twice
2. when I call for description of "T" in a dired buffer, those lines show as:

Type Type M-n to pull the file attributes of the file at point
into the minibuffer.

But M-n calls clone-buffer

That's a typo.

> 2. when I call for description of "T" in a dired buffer, those lines show as:
> 
> Type Type M-n to pull the file attributes of the file at point

The intent was to tell that you can type M-n after invoking the
command.  IOW, type "T M-n".

I've now fixed this (and several similar issues in a few other doc
strings) on the emacs-30 branch, and I'm therefore closing this bug.

That's a typo.

The intent was to tell that you can type M-n after invoking the
command.  IOW, type "T M-n".

I've now fixed this (and several similar issues in a few other doc
strings) on the emacs-30 branch, and I'm therefore closing this bug.

This is the start of defun of dired-do-touch in dired-aux.el

(defun dired-do-touch (&optional arg)
  "Change the timestamp of the marked (or next ARG) files.
This calls touch.
Type Type \\<minibuffer-local-completion-map>\\[next-history-element] \
to pull the file attributes of the file at point
into the minibuffer."

The last three lines of the docstring make no sense to me because:

1. "Type" is repeated twice
2. when I call for description of "T" in a dired buffer, those lines show as:

Type Type M-n to pull the file attributes of the file at point
into the minibuffer.

But M-n calls clone-buffer
