177 | ||
178 | @noindent | |
179 | This manual describes the Dired features provided by the file | |
180 | @file{dired-x.el}. To take advantage of these features, you must load the | |
181 | file and (optionally) set some variables. | |
182 | ||
183 | @noindent | |
07ca5555 GM |
184 | In your @file{~/.emacs} file, or in the system-wide initialization file |
185 | @file{default.el} in the @file{site-lisp} directory, put | |
4009494e GM |
186 | |
187 | @example | |
188 | (add-hook 'dired-load-hook | |
189 | (lambda () | |
190 | (load "dired-x") | |
191 | ;; Set dired-x global variables here. For example: | |
192 | ;; (setq dired-guess-shell-gnutar "gtar") | |
193 | ;; (setq dired-x-hands-off-my-keys nil) | |

195 | (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook | |
196 | (lambda () | |
197 | ;; Set dired-x buffer-local variables here. For example: | |
198 | ;; (dired-omit-mode 1) | |
199 | )) | |
200 | @end example | |
201 | ||

256 | @cindex Omitting Files in Dired | |
257 | @cindex Uninteresting files | |
258 | @dfn{Omitting} a file means removing it from the directory listing. Omitting | |
259 | is useful for keeping Dired buffers free of ``uninteresting'' files (for | |
260 | instance, auto-save, auxiliary, backup, and revision control files) so that | |
261 | the user can concentrate on the interesting files. Like hidden files, omitted | |
262 | files are never seen by Dired. Omitting differs from hiding in several | |
263 | respects: | |
264 | ||
265 | @itemize @bullet | |
266 | ||
267 | @item | |
268 | Omitting works on individual files, not on directories; an entire directory | |
269 | cannot be omitted (though each of its files could be). | |
270 | ||
271 | @item | |
272 | Omitting is wholesale; if omitting is turned on for a Dired buffer, then all | |
273 | uninteresting files listed in that buffer are omitted. The user does not omit | |
274 | (or unomit) files one at a time. | |
275 | ||
276 | @item | |
277 | Omitting can be automatic; uninteresting file lines in the buffer can be | |
278 | removed before the user ever sees them. | |
279 | ||
280 | @item | |
281 | Marked files are never omitted. | |

317 | @vindex dired-omit-mode | |

321 | ||
322 | @cindex How to make omitting the default in Dired | |
323 | If non-@code{nil}, ``uninteresting'' files are not listed. | |
324 | Uninteresting files are those whose files whose names match regexp | |
325 | @code{dired-omit-files}, plus those ending with extensions in | |
326 | @code{dired-omit-extensions}. @kbd{M-o} (@code{dired-omit-mode}) | |
327 | toggles its value, which is buffer-local. Put | |
328 | ||
329 | @example | |
330 | (dired-omit-mode 1) | |
331 | @end example | |
332 | ||
333 | @noindent | |
334 | inside your @code{dired-mode-hook} to have omitting initially turned on in | |
335 | @emph{every} Dired buffer (@pxref{Installation}). You can then use @kbd{M-o} to | |
336 | unomit in that buffer. | |
337 | ||
817b48a7 GM |
338 | To enable omitting automatically only in certain directories you can add |
339 | a directory local setting | |
340 | (@pxref{Directory Variables,,,emacs,The Gnu Emacs manual}) for Dired mode | |
4009494e GM |
341 | |
342 | @example | |
817b48a7 | 343 | ((dired-mode . ((dired-omit-mode . t)))) |
4009494e GM |
344 | @end example |
345 | ||
346 | @noindent | |
8889f4e2 GM |
347 | to a @file{.dir-locals.el} file in that directory. You can use the |
348 | command @code{add-dir-local-variable} to do this. | |
4009494e GM |
349 | |
350 | @vindex dired-omit-files | |
351 | @item dired-omit-files | |
352 | ||
353 | Default: @code{"^#\\|\\.$"} | |
354 | ||
355 | Files whose names match this buffer-local regexp will not be displayed. | |
356 | This only has effect when @code{dired-omit-mode}'s value is @code{t}. | |
357 | ||
358 | The default value omits the special directories @file{.} and @file{..} and | |
359 | autosave files (plus other files ending in @file{.}) (@pxref{Omitting Examples}). | |
360 | ||
361 | @vindex dired-omit-extensions | |
362 | @item dired-omit-extensions | |
363 | ||
364 | Default: The elements of @code{completion-ignored-extensions}, | |
365 | @code{dired-latex-unclean-extensions}, @code{dired-bibtex-unclean-extensions} | |
366 | and @code{dired-texinfo-unclean-extensions}. | |
367 | ||
368 | If non-@code{nil}, a list of extensions (strings) to omit from Dired listings. | |
369 | Its format is the same as that of @code{completion-ignored-extensions}. | |
370 | ||
371 | @vindex dired-omit-localp | |
372 | @item dired-omit-localp | |
373 | ||
374 | Default: @code{no-dir} | |
375 | ||
376 | The @var{localp} argument @code{dired-omit-expunge} passes to | |
377 | @code{dired-get-filename}. If it is @code{no-dir}, omitting is much faster, | |
378 | but you can only match against the non-directory part of the file name. Set it | |
379 | to @code{nil} if you need to match the whole file name or @code{t} to match the | |
380 | file name relative to the buffer's top-level directory. | |
381 | ||
382 | @item dired-omit-marker-char | |
383 | @vindex dired-omit-marker-char | |
384 | @cindex Omitting additional files | |
385 | Default: @kbd{C-o} | |
386 | ||
387 | Temporary marker used by Dired to implement omitting. Should never be used | |
388 | as marker by the user or other packages. There is one exception to this rule: | |
389 | by adding | |
390 | ||
391 | @example | |
392 | (setq dired-mark-keys "\C-o") | |
393 | ;; i.e., the value of dired-omit-marker-char | |
394 | ;; (which is not defined yet) | |
395 | @end example | |
396 | ||
397 | @noindent | |
398 | to your @file{~/.emacs}, you can bind the @kbd{C-o} key to insert a | |
399 | @kbd{C-o} marker, thus causing these files to be omitted in addition to the | |
400 | usually omitted files. Unfortunately the files you omitted manually this way | |
401 | will show up again after reverting the buffer, unlike the others. | |

475 | This Dired-X feature is obsolete as of Emacs 24.1. The standard Emacs |
476 | directory local variables mechanism (@pxref{Directory | |
477 | Variables,,,emacs,The Gnu Emacs manual}) replaces it. For an example of | |
53964682 | 478 | the new mechanisms, @pxref{Omitting Variables}. |
817b48a7 GM |
479 | |
480 | When Dired visits a directory, it looks for a file whose name is the | |
481 | value of variable @code{dired-local-variables-file} (default: @file{.dired}). | |
482 | If such a file is found, Dired will temporarily insert it into the Dired | |
483 | buffer and run @code{hack-local-variables}. | |
4009494e GM |
484 | |

505 | ||
506 | @noindent | |
507 | You can set @code{dired-local-variables-file} to @code{nil} to suppress this. | |
508 | The value of @code{dired-enable-local-variables} controls if and how these | |
51a13bdd | 509 | local variables are read. This variable exists so that it may override the |
4009494e GM |
510 | default value of @code{enable-local-variables}. |

512 | @noindent | |
513 | Please see the GNU Emacs Manual to learn more about local variables. | |

530 | @item dired-enable-local-variables | |
531 | Default: @code{t} | |
532 | ||
817b48a7 GM |
533 | Controls the use of local-variables lists in Dired. This variable |
534 | temporarily overrides the value of @code{enable-local-variables} when | |
535 | the Dired Local Variables are hacked. It takes the same values as that | |
536 | variable. A value of @code{nil} means to ignore any Dired Local Variables. | |

541 | @cindex Guessing shell commands for files. | |
542 | ||
543 | Based upon the name of a file, Dired tries to guess what shell | |
544 | command you might want to apply to it. For example, if you have point | |
545 | on a file named @file{foo.tar} and you press @kbd{!}, Dired will guess | |
546 | you want to @samp{tar xvf} it and suggest that as the default shell | |
547 | command. | |
548 | ||
e658c8ee | 549 | The default is mentioned in brackets and you can type @kbd{M-n} to get |
4009494e GM |
550 | the default into the minibuffer and then edit it, e.g., to change |
551 | @samp{tar xvf} to @samp{tar tvf}. If there are several commands for a given | |
552 | file, e.g., @samp{xtex} and @samp{dvips} for a @file{.dvi} file, you can type | |
e658c8ee | 553 | @kbd{M-n} several times to see each of the matching commands. |
4009494e GM |
554 | |
555 | Dired only tries to guess a command for a single file, never for a list | |
556 | of marked files. | |

570 | when @code{dired-do-shell-command} is run). | |

577 | @end example | |
578 | ||

580 | where each @var{command} can either be a string or a Lisp expression | |
581 | that evaluates to a string. If several commands are given, all of | |
582 | them will temporarily be pushed onto the history. | |
583 | ||
584 | If @samp{*} in the shell command, that means to substitute the file | |
585 | name. | |
586 | ||
587 | You can set this variable in your @file{~/.emacs}. For example, | |
588 | to add rules for @samp{.foo} and @samp{.bar} file extensions, write | |
589 | ||
590 | @example | |
591 | (setq dired-guess-shell-alist-user | |

598 | "@var{bar-command-2}")))) | |

868 | directory instead of @code{default-directory}, e.g., @code{find-file} and | |
869 | @code{compile}. | |

873 | @kindex M-! | |
874 | The command @code{dired-smart-shell-command}, bound to @kbd{M-!} in | |
875 | Dired buffers, is like @code{shell-command}, but it runs with | |
876 | @code{default-directory} bound to the current Dired directory. | |

880 | @cindex Visiting a file mentioned in a buffer |
881 | @cindex Finding a file at point | |
882 | ||
883 | @file{dired-x} provides a method of visiting or editing a file mentioned in | |
884 | the buffer you are viewing (e.g., a mail buffer, a news article, a | |
885 | @file{README} file, etc.) or to test if that file exists. You can then modify | |
886 | this in the minibuffer after snatching the file name. | |
887 | ||
888 | When installed @file{dired-x} will substitute @code{dired-x-find-file} for | |
889 | @code{find-file} (normally bound to @kbd{C-x C-f}) and | |
890 | @code{dired-x-find-file-other-window} for @code{find-file-other-window} | |
891 | (normally bound to @kbd{C-x 4 C-f}). | |
892 | ||
893 | In order to use this feature, you will need to set | |
894 | @code{dired-x-hands-off-my-keys} to @code{nil} inside @code{dired-load-hook} | |
895 | (@pxref{Optional Installation File At Point}). | |
896 | ||
897 | @table @code | |
898 | @item dired-x-find-file | |
899 | @findex dired-x-find-file | |
900 | @kindex C-x C-f | |
901 | ||
902 | @code{dired-x-find-file} behaves exactly like @code{find-file} (normally bound | |
903 | to @kbd{C-x C-f}) unless a prefix argument is passed to the function in which | |
904 | case it will use the file name at point as a guess for the file to visit. | |
905 | ||
906 | For example, if the buffer you were reading contained the words | |
907 | ||
908 | @example | |
909 | Available via anonymous ftp in | |
910 | ||
911 | /roebling.poly.edu:/pub/lisp/crypt++.el.gz | |
912 | @end example | |
913 | ||
914 | @noindent | |
915 | then you could move your cursor to the line containing the ftp address and | |
916 | type @kbd{C-u C-x C-f} (the @kbd{C-u} is a universal argument). The | |
917 | minibuffer would read | |
918 | ||
919 | @example | |
920 | Find file: /roebling.poly.edu:/pub/lisp/crypt++.el.gz | |
921 | @end example | |
922 | ||
923 | @noindent | |
924 | with the point after the last @code{/}. If you hit @key{RET}, emacs will visit | |
925 | the file at that address. This also works with files on your own computer. | |
926 | ||
927 | @item dired-x-find-file-other-window | |
928 | @findex dired-x-find-file-other-window | |
929 | @kindex C-x 4 C-f | |
930 | ||
931 | @code{dired-x-find-file-other-window} behaves exactly like | |
932 | @code{find-file-other-window} (normally bound to @kbd{C-x 4 C-f}) unless a | |
933 | prefix argument is used. See @code{dired-x-find-file} for more information. | |
934 | ||
935 | @item dired-x-hands-off-my-keys | |
936 | @vindex dired-x-hands-off-my-keys | |
937 | If set to @code{t}, then it means that @file{dired-x} should @emph{not} bind | |
938 | @code{dired-x-find-file} over @code{find-file} on keyboard. Similarly, it | |
939 | should not bind @code{dired-x-find-file-other-window} over | |
940 | @code{find-file-other-window}. If you change this variable after | |
941 | @file{dired-x.el} is loaded then do @kbd{M-x dired-x-bind-find-file}. The | |
942 | default value of this variable is @code{t}; by default, the binding is not | |
943 | done. See @xref{Optional Installation File At Point}. | |
944 | ||
945 | @item dired-x-bind-find-file | |
946 | @findex dired-x-bind-find-file | |
947 | A function, which can be called interactively or in your @file{~/.emacs} file, | |
948 | that uses the value of @code{dired-x-hands-off-my-keys} to determine if | |
949 | @code{dired-x-find-file} should be bound over @code{find-file} and | |
950 | @code{dired-x-find-file-other-window} bound over | |
951 | @code{find-file-other-window}. See @xref{Optional Installation File At Point}. | |

960 | @item dired-find-subdir | |
961 | @vindex dired-find-subdir | |
962 | Default: @code{nil} | |
963 | ||
964 | If non-@code{nil}, Dired does not make a new buffer for a directory if it can | |
965 | be found (perhaps as subdirectory) in some existing Dired buffer. | |
966 | ||
967 | If there are several Dired buffers for a directory, the most recently | |
968 | used is chosen. | |
969 | ||
970 | Dired avoids switching to the current buffer, so that if you have a | |
971 | normal and a wildcard buffer for the same directory, @kbd{C-x d RET} | |
972 | will toggle between those two. | |
973 | @end table | |
974 | ||
975 | @table @kbd | |
976 | @findex dired-goto-subdir | |
977 | @kindex M-G | |
978 | @item M-G | |
979 | (@code{dired-goto-subdir}) Go to the header line of an inserted directory. | |
980 | This command reads its argument, with completion derived from the names of the | |
981 | inserted subdirectories. | |

988 | @kindex C-x C-j | |
989 | @cindex Jumping to Dired listing containing file. | |
990 | Bound to @kbd{C-x C-j}. Jump back to Dired: If in a file, edit the current | |
991 | directory and move to file's line. If in Dired already, pop up a level and | |
992 | go to old directory's line. In case the proper Dired file line cannot be | |
993 | found, refresh the Dired buffer and try again. | |

995 | @item dired-jump-other-window | |
996 | @findex dired-jump-other-window | |
997 | @kindex C-x 4 C-j | |
998 | Bound to @kbd{C-x 4 C-j}. Like @code{dired-jump}, but to other window. | |
999 | ||
1000 | These functions can be autoloaded so they work even though @file{dired-x.el} | |
1001 | has not been loaded yet (@pxref{Optional Installation Dired Jump}). | |
1002 | ||
1003 | @vindex dired-bind-jump | |
1004 | If the variable @code{dired-bind-jump} is @code{nil}, @code{dired-jump} will not be | |

1013 | file (assumed to be a UNIX mail folder). | |
1014 | ||
1015 | @vindex dired-vm-read-only-folders | |
1016 | If you give this command a prefix argument, it will visit the folder | |
da5e0ce4 | 1017 | read-only. |
4009494e GM |
1018 | |
1019 | If the variable @code{dired-vm-read-only-folders} is @code{t}, | |
da5e0ce4 GM |
1020 | @code{dired-vm} will visit all folders read-only. If it is neither |
1021 | @code{nil} nor @code{t}, e.g., the symbol @code{if-file-read-only}, only | |
1022 | files not writable by you are visited read-only. | |

1023 | |
1024 | @vindex dired-bind-vm | |
1025 | If the variable @code{dired-bind-vm} is @code{t}, @code{dired-vm} will be bound | |

1028 | @item dired-rmail | |
1029 | @cindex Reading mail. | |
1030 | @findex dired-rmail | |
1031 | Bound to @kbd{V} if @code{dired-bind-vm} is @code{nil}. Run Rmail on this | |

1060 | Bound to @kbd{Y}. Relative symlink all marked (or next ARG) files into a | |
1061 | directory, or make a relative symbolic link to the current file. This creates | |
1062 | relative symbolic links like | |
1063 | ||
1064 | @example | |
1065 | foo -> ../bar/foo | |
1066 | @end example | |
