You can change files' attributes, run shell % commands on files, or insert subdirectories into the edit buffer. You can % "flag" files for deletion or "mark" files for later commands, either one % file at a time or by all files matching certain criteria (e.g., files that % match a certain regexp). % You move throughout the buffer using the usual cursor motion commands. % Letters no longer insert themselves, but execute commands instead. The % digits (0-9) are prefix arguments. % Most commands operate either on all marked files or on the current file if % no files are marked. Use a numeric prefix argument to operate on the next % ARG files (or previous ARG if ARG $<$ 0). Use the prefix argument `1' to % operate on the current file only. Prefix arguments override marks. Commands % which run a sub-process on a group of files will display a list of files % for which the sub-process failed. Typing y will try to tell % you what went wrong. % When editing several directories in one buffer, each directory acts as a % page, so C-x [ and C-x ] can be used to move between directories. \section{Entering and Exiting Dired} \key{run dired}{C-x d} \key{dired the directory of the file you are editing}{C-x C-j \dx} \key{quit dired}{q} \section{Motion Commands} \key{move up to previous line}{p} \key{move down to next line}{n} \key{move up to previous directory line}{<} \key{move down to next directory line}{>} \key{move to next marked file}{M-\}} \key{move to previous marked file}{M-\{} \key{move up to previous subdirectory}{M-C-p} \key{move down to next subdirectory}{M-C-n} \key{move to parent directory}{^} \key{move to first child subdirectory}{M-C-d} \section{Mouse Commands} \metax{visit file or directory}{Mouse_Button_2} \section{Immediate Actions on Files} \key{visit current file}{f} \key{view current file}{v} \key{visit current file in other window}{o} %% Huh? %% \key{visit current file in other frame}{w} %% Huh? %%\key{display current file}{C-u o} \key{create a new subdirectory}{+} \key{compare file at point with the one at mark}{=} \section{Marking and Unmarking Files} \key{mark a file or subdirectory for later commands}{m} \key{unmark a file or all files of a subdirectory}{u} \key{unmark all marked files in a buffer}{M-delete} \key{mark files with a given extension}{* .} \key{mark all directories}{* /} \key{mark all symlinks}{* @} \key{mark all executables}{* *} \key{invert marking}{t} \key{mark all files in the current subdir}{* s} \key{mark file names matching a regular expression}{* \%} \key{change the marks to a different character}{* c} \key{mark files for which Elisp expression returns t}{* ( \dx} \section{Modifying the Dired Buffer} \key{insert a subdirectory into this buffer}{i} \key{remove marked files from the listing}{k} \key{remove a subdir listing}{C-u k} \key{re-read all directories (retains all marks)}{g} \key{toggle sorting of current subdir by name/date}{s} \key{edit ls switches}{C-u s} \key{recover marks, hidden lines, and such (undo)}{C-_} \key{hide all subdirectories}{M-\$} \key{hide or unhide subdirectory}{\$} \section{Commands on Files Marked or Specified by the Prefix} \key{copy file(s)}{C} \key{rename a file or move files to another directory}{R} \key{change ownership of file(s)}{O} \key{change the group of the file(s)}{G} \key{change mode of file(s)}{M} \key{print file(s)}{P} \key{convert filename(s) to lower case}{\% l} \key{convert filename(s) to upper case}{\% u} \key{delete marked (as opposed to flagged) file(s)}{D} %% Huh? %%\key{uuencode or uudecode file(s)}{U} \key{compress or uncompress file(s)}{Z} %% Only uses the current file. \key{run info on file}{I \dx} \key{make symbolic link(s)}{S} \key{make relative symbolic link(s)}{Y} \key{make hard link(s)}{H} \key{search files for a regular expression}{A} \key{regexp query replace on marked files}{Q} \key{byte-compile file(s)}{B} \key{load file(s)}{L} \key{shell command on file(s)}{!} \key{asynchronous shell command on file(s)}{\&} \section{Flagging Files for Deletion} \leftline{\bf Unmark commands remove delete flags} \key{flag file for deletion}{d} %% Huh? %%\key{backup and remove deletion flag}{delete} \key{flag all backup files (file names ending in \~{})}{\~{}} \key{flag all auto-save files}{\#} \key{flag various intermediate files}{\% \&} \key{flag numeric backups (ending in .\~{}1\~{}, .\~{}2\~{}, etc.)}{.} \key{execute the deletions requested (flagged files)}{x} \key{flag files matching a regular expression}{\% d} \section{Regular Expression Commands} \key{mark filenames matching a regular expression}{\% m} \key{copy marked files by regexp}{\% C} \key{rename marked files by regexp}{\% R} \key{hardlink}{\% H} \key{symlink}{\% S} \key{symlink, with relative paths}{\% Y} \key{mark for deletion}{\% d} \section{Dired and Find} \metax{dired file(s) whose name matches a pattern}{M-x find-name-dired} \metax{dired file(s) that contain pattern}{M-x find-grep-dired} \metax{dired file(s) based on \kbd{find} output}{M-x find-dired} \section{Getting Help} \key{dired help}{h} \key{dired summary (short help) and error log}{?} \copyrightnotice \bye
