Basic commands inside a dired buffer

  • % m mark files via a regexp
  • % d mark files for deletion via a regexp
  • n/p for next previous file
  • f / RET visit that file
  • v view that file in another window
  • ^ go up one directory
  • * * mark all executables
  • * / mark all directories except for .. and .
  • * s mark all the files in the current subdirectory
  • t toggle all marks
  • % g mark all files whose contents contain regexp
  • C copy the current file
  • d flags a file for deletion
  • x delete all files flagged for deletion
  • D delete all marked files
  • R NEW RET rename the file/files. If only one files is marked, then that file will be renamed. If many files are marked, then those files will be moved into a new directory that you name
  • S NEW RET make symbolic links. If you have just specified one file, then that file will have a symbolic link to/from NEW. If you mark many files, then NEW is the directory to add the symbolic link to
  • M change the mode stuff of the file. arguments can be what chmod would want.
  • G change the group of the file/files to a new group
  • O change the owner of file/files
  • Z compress / uncompress file/files
  • :d decrypt the file
  • :e encrypt the file
  • :s sign the file
  • :verify the sig of the file
  • B byte compile the emacs lisp file/files
  • ! runs a shell command on the file/files
  • & runs a shell command on the file/files in the background
  • % R/C/H/S TO RET FROM these 4 commands rename/copy/hard/soft links out of regexp What matches in TO will get replaced in from. So to rename all files from .*php to .*phtml you could say % m RET php RET % R php RET phtml. You are also free to use \& and \DIGIT in your FROM regexp.
  • + create a new directory
  • i displays the files in the current subdirectory w/o evoking dired on that directory C-u C-SPC moves point back to where you started
  • >/< move forward and backward to the previous/next subdirectory lines
  • g redisplays the dired buffer
  • C-t d toggle displaying an image
  • image-dired opens up dired to display images
  • w yanks the marked files. Apparently this lets you yank those files into other emacs commands
  • ( toggles showing the file permissions
