Idea Float O/T

Idea Float O/T

[zzapper]

Hi,
In some of my directories, I have a "master" tex document which I clone when I want to create a new
document. I also have this problem with some of my zsh scripts

This file which has different names tends to get "lost" in the directory.

So I need for it stand-out in some way.

Solutions
1) some kind of auto-touch mechanism to make it always newest (NO dont' like that)

2) Have a special prefix eg master_* (OK) or suffix *.mst (OK but I'd lose Syntax highlighting etc)

3) Give the file some kind of special property? But What????

Lateral Ideas sought

Would creating a symbolic link to it work?

You could use a vim modeline so that the syntax highlighting is not
lost with the suffix.

Personally, I would add a pattern highlight to $LS_COLORS so that
files beginning with master_ or ending in .mst are highlighted.

My choice would be to put it in a subdirectory.

If that won't work, give it a name that begins with "+".  That should
collate ahead of any file name beginning with letters or digits.

That's the kind of thing, so that I could write a tool to "find" it
