dired-x: Miscellaneous Commands

 
 10 Miscellaneous Commands
 *************************
 
 Miscellaneous features not fitting anywhere else:
 
 ‘dired-find-subdir’
      Default: ‘nil’
 
      If non-‘nil’, Dired does not make a new buffer for a directory if
      it can be found (perhaps as subdirectory) in some existing Dired
      buffer.
 
      If there are several Dired buffers for a directory, the most
      recently used is chosen.
 
      Dired avoids switching to the current buffer, so that if you have a
      normal and a wildcard buffer for the same directory, ‘C-x d RET’
      will toggle between those two.
 
 ‘M-G’
      (‘dired-goto-subdir’) Go to the header line of an inserted
      directory.  This command reads its argument, with completion
      derived from the names of the inserted subdirectories.
 
 ‘dired-jump’
      Bound to ‘C-x C-j’.  Jump back to Dired: If in a file, edit the
      current directory and move to file’s line.  If in Dired already,
      pop up a level and go to old directory’s line.  In case the proper
      Dired file line cannot be found, refresh the Dired buffer and try
      again.
 
 ‘dired-jump-other-window’
      Bound to ‘C-x 4 C-j’.  Like ‘dired-jump’, but to other window.
 
      These functions can be autoloaded so they work even though
      ‘dired-x.el’ has not been loaded yet (Optional Installation
      Dired Jump).
 
      If the variable ‘dired-bind-jump’ is ‘nil’, ‘dired-jump’ will not
      be bound to ‘C-x C-j’ and ‘dired-jump-other-window’ will not be
      bound to ‘C-x 4 C-j’.
 
 ‘dired-vm’
      Bound to ‘V’ if ‘dired-bind-vm’ is ‘t’.  Run VM on this file
      (assumed to be a UNIX mail folder).
 
      If you give this command a prefix argument, it will visit the
      folder read-only.
 
      If the variable ‘dired-vm-read-only-folders’ is ‘t’, ‘dired-vm’
      will visit all folders read-only.  If it is neither ‘nil’ nor ‘t’,
      e.g., the symbol ‘if-file-read-only’, only files not writable by
      you are visited read-only.
 
      If the variable ‘dired-bind-vm’ is ‘t’, ‘dired-vm’ will be bound to
      ‘V’.  Otherwise, ‘dired-bind-rmail’ will be bound.
 
 ‘dired-rmail’
      Bound to ‘V’ if ‘dired-bind-vm’ is ‘nil’.  Run Rmail on this file
      (assumed to be mail folder in Rmail format).
 
 ‘dired-info’
      Bound to ‘I’.  Run Info on this file (assumed to be a file in Info
      format).
 
      If the variable ‘dired-bind-info’ is ‘nil’, ‘dired-info’ will not
      be bound to ‘I’.
 
 ‘dired-man’
      Bound to ‘N’.  Run man on this file (assumed to be a file in
      ‘nroff’ format).
 
      If the variable ‘dired-bind-man’ is ‘nil’, ‘dired-man’ will not be
      bound to ‘N’.
 
 ‘dired-do-relsymlink’
      Bound to ‘Y’.  Relative symlink all marked (or next ARG) files into
      a directory, or make a relative symbolic link to the current file.
      This creates relative symbolic links like
 
               foo -> ../bar/foo
 
      not absolute ones like
 
               foo -> /ugly/path/that/may/change/any/day/bar/foo
 
 ‘dired-do-relsymlink-regexp’
      Bound to ‘%Y’.  Relative symlink all marked files containing REGEXP
      to NEWNAME.  See functions ‘dired-do-rename-regexp’ and
      ‘dired-do-relsymlink’ for more info.
