#+TITLE: Dired
Dired is Emacs'file manager.
* Use-cases for Dired
Run-of-the-mill file operations:
* Move/rename
* Copy
* Delete
* Create directories
* Compress
Batch file actions:
* Batch editing
* Basic operations
To open a directory, either visit it like a file -- =C-x f <dir>= --
or explicitly open the directory with =C-x d <dir>=.
** Refresh directory listing
Press =g= to refresh the diectory listing.
** Creating a directory
Press =+= to create a new directory.
** Copy files
To copy a single file, move the pointer onto it, press =C= and
select a name and path for it to be copied to.
To copy multiple files, /mark/ all the files that need copying by
pressing =m= onto them; then press =C= to copy all those files into
a directory. To unselect all files, press =U=.
** Moving files
Moving files is similar to /copying/, but press =R= instead of
=C=. Moving a files is also the way to rename a file as the
behaviour is identical.
** Deleting files
Deleting files also works in the same manner as /copying/, but with
the =D= keybind instead.
** Compress files
To compress files, select them, then press =c= and choose an
archive name.
* Batch editing
Batch renames are done with WDired, a special mode of Dired. Access
it by pressing =C-x C-q=.
When in WDired mode, you can edit the dired buffer as though it was
just text. Hit =C-c C-c= for all your changes to be actually applied
to the filesystem.
