I use it so +often, it's pretty much my go-to file browser. I use it both on my +local machine, and on remote machines via TRAMP. One feature of +=dired= is the ability to enter sub-directories in the same buffer by +inserting the contents under the current directory. While this is +useful, I often want something quicker to check the contents of a +directory without either opening it in a new buffer, or inserting it +below. + +The workaround for this I use is by using the excellent [[https://melpa.org/#/dired-subtree][dired-subtree]] +package and the following ~use-package~ definition. + +#+BEGIN_SRC elisp +(use-package dired-subtree + :ensure t + :after dired + :bind (:map dired-mode-map + ("TAB" . dired-subtree-toggle))) +#+END_SRC + +Now whenever I want to expand a directory, I move my cursor over it +and press the @@html: <kbd>Tab ↹</kbd>@@ key. Pressing +@@html: <kbd>Tab ↹</kbd>@@ again on the same entry will collapse it +and hide the contents again. |
