Description

This layer adds my custom configuration of Dired on top of the default dired configuration for Spacemacs.

Features:

Sane functions for Dired from Ergomacs’ website, and one of my own, mapped to sane keybindings in dired-mode:

• Open several files at once from Dired in Emacs
• Open several files at once from Dired in external software (useful when using EXWM)
• Sort files in Dired by name, date, size or extension

• Rename files, replacing whitespace in the filename by:

  • underscores _
  • or hyphens -

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add dired-phundrak to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Key bindings

The following keybindings are only available from a dired buffer:
