27
28 ;; This is based on Sebastian Kremer's excellent dired-x.el (Dired Extra),
29 ;; version 1.191, adapted for GNU Emacs. See the `dired-x' info pages.
30
31 ;; USAGE: In your ~/.emacs,
32 ;;
33 ;; (add-hook 'dired-load-hook
34 ;; (lambda ()
35 ;; (load "dired-x")
36 ;; ;; Set global variables here. For example:
37 ;; ;; (setq dired-guess-shell-gnutar "gtar")
38 ;; ))
39 ;; (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
40 ;; (lambda ()
41 ;; ;; Set buffer-local variables here. For example:
42 ;; ;; (dired-omit-mode 1)
43 ;; ))
44 ;;
45 ;; At load time dired-x.el will install itself and bind some dired keys.
46 ;; Some dired.el and dired-aux.el functions have extra features if
47 ;; dired-x is loaded.
48
49 ;; User customization: M-x customize-group RET dired-x RET.
50
51 ;; *Please* see the `dired-x' info pages for more details.
