I have in the past been using
(require 'dired)
(require 'dired-x)
quite happily. Recently I've been even happier after switching to
(require 'dired)
(require 'dired-x)
(require 'dired+)
(require 'icicles)
except for two issues:
- I was formerly able to copy the current directory by moving the cursor to the top of the buffer and pressing 'w' (for subsequent yanking/pasting somewhere else). Now that top line (the current directory) is off-limit. How do I recover copying the current buffer in dired+/icicles? (The
C-0 w
trick no longer works.) - While navigating up in a directory chain, I found easier to type 'q' (M-x quit) rather than '^' (M-x diredp-up-directory). 'q' still brings back the parent directory, but drops the cursor to the bottom of the buffer, which makes it a lot less easy to navigate a directory chain. Even if '^' is more correct, and before I simply change the assignment of 'q', I'm seeking some understanding of what's happening. Why does quitting in
dired+
move a dired buffer's cursor? Is it perhaps the case that the sequence of dired/dired-x/dired+/icicles introduces an incompatibility?
