I can refresh my dired
buffer using M-x revert-buffer
and I've seen multiple places that I can do this more easily using g
but don't understand how that would be run. Does it mean M-x g
or running g <RET>
somehow?
Searched around but haven't figured out what basic trick I'm missing so thanks for the help.
g
. Which presumably you have already tried, but do not think it's working? What are you expecting to see, which you are not seeing from typingg
?C-
orM-
but clearly notdired
,magit
,info
etc., to bind 'naked' keys to commands. This should be clear from the documentation: if you need to press Meta/Alt, or Control, the documentation will specify that explicitly:M-g
andC-g
, for example. If the documentation refers to a single key (i.e.,g
) for a command, you should just press that key.g
again and yeah of course it works.self-insert-command
).
