"Zip-Archive mode defined in ‘arc-mode.el’:
Major mode for viewing an archive file in a dired-like way."
That's great, but how about letting "C" copy a file, like in dired.
I mean what's the big deal? We just want to copy it to /tmp, ~, etc.
Sure, raise some alarm if we want to copy it to some place _within the
archive_. But hey, you let us view a file with v, so why not copy with C?
Wait, there's
5 matches for "extract" in buffer: *Help*
22:e .. f archive-extract
25:RET archive-extract
35:E archive-extract-other-window
45:o archive-extract-other-window
56:<mouse-2> archive-extract
Must be important. Let's have a look.
"In archive mode, extract this entry of the archive into its own buffer."
I don't want to get tangled up (editing?) in the archive.
I don't want to even look at the file's contents.
I just want to copy it somewhere far far away (but still on the local
machine.)
So please add archive-copy or archive-copy-file, that, just like
dired-do-copy, preserves the date.
There I am, looking at

OK, "C" should allow me to copy doc.kml to e.g., /tmp/doc.kml .
