+#+TITLE: Expanding a Directory With Tab in Dired Mode

+=dired= mode is one of my favourite features of Emacs. 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.
