27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; This is based on Sebastian Kremer's excellent dired-x.el (Dired Extra),
30 ;; version 1.191, adapted for GNU Emacs. See the `dired-x' info pages.
32 ;; USAGE: In your ~/.emacs,
34 ;; (add-hook 'dired-load-hook
35 ;; (lambda ()
36 ;; (load "dired-x")
37 ;; ;; Set global variables here. For example:
38 ;; ;; (setq dired-guess-shell-gnutar "gtar")
39 ;; ))
40 ;; (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
41 ;; (lambda ()
42 ;; ;; Set buffer-local variables here. For example:
43 ;; ;; (dired-omit-mode 1)
44 ;; ))
46 ;; At load time dired-x.el will install itself and bind some dired keys.
47 ;; Some dired.el and dired-aux.el functions have extra features if
48 ;; dired-x is loaded.
50 ;; User customization: M-x customize-group RET dired-x RET.
52 ;; *Please* see the `dired-x' info pages for more details.
55 ;;; Code:
57 ;; This is a no-op if dired-x is being loaded via `dired-load-hook',
58 ;; but maybe not if a dired-x function is being autoloaded.
