dired-x: Omitting Variables

 
 3.1 Omitting Variables
 ======================
 
 The following variables can be used to customize omitting.
 
 ‘dired-omit-mode’
 
      Default: ‘nil’
 
      If non-‘nil’, “uninteresting” files are not listed.  Uninteresting
      files are those whose files whose names match regexp
      ‘dired-omit-files’, plus those ending with extensions in
      ‘dired-omit-extensions’.  ‘C-x M-o’ (‘dired-omit-mode’) toggles its
      value, which is buffer-local.  Put
 
           (dired-omit-mode 1)
 
      inside your ‘dired-mode-hook’ to have omitting initially turned on
      in _every_ Dired buffer (Installation).  You can then use
      ‘C-x M-o’ to unomit in that buffer.
 
      To enable omitting automatically only in certain directories you
      Variables::) for Dired mode
 
           ((dired-mode . ((dired-omit-mode . t))))
 
      to a ‘.dir-locals.el’ file in that directory.  You can use the
      command ‘add-dir-local-variable’ to do this.
 
 ‘dired-omit-files’
 
      Default: ‘"^#\\|\\.$"’
 
      Files whose names match this buffer-local regexp will not be
      displayed.  This only has effect when ‘dired-omit-mode’’s value is
      ‘t’.
 
      The default value omits the special directories ‘.’ and ‘..’ and
      autosave files (plus other files ending in ‘.’) (Omitting
      Examples).
 
 ‘dired-omit-extensions’
 
      Default: The elements of ‘completion-ignored-extensions’,
      ‘dired-latex-unclean-extensions’, ‘dired-bibtex-unclean-extensions’
      and ‘dired-texinfo-unclean-extensions’.
 
      If non-‘nil’, a list of extensions (strings) to omit from Dired
      listings.  Its format is the same as that of
      ‘completion-ignored-extensions’.
 
 ‘dired-omit-localp’
 
      Default: ‘no-dir’
 
      The LOCALP argument ‘dired-omit-expunge’ passes to
      ‘dired-get-filename’.  If it is ‘no-dir’, omitting is much faster,
      but you can only match against the non-directory part of the file
      name.  Set it to ‘nil’ if you need to match the whole file name or
      ‘t’ to match the file name relative to the buffer’s top-level
      directory.
 
 ‘dired-omit-marker-char’
      Default: ‘C-o’
 
      Temporary marker used by Dired to implement omitting.  Should never
      be used as marker by the user or other packages.  There is one
      exception to this rule: by adding
 
           (setq dired-mark-keys "\C-o")
           ;; i.e., the value of dired-omit-marker-char
           ;; (which is not defined yet)
 
      to your ‘~/.emacs’, you can bind the ‘C-o’ key to insert a ‘C-o’
      marker, thus causing these files to be omitted in addition to the
      usually omitted files.  Unfortunately the files you omitted
      manually this way will show up again after reverting the buffer,
      unlike the others.
