Your videos are showing me just how much of a powerhouse Emacs really is. Thanks a lot!

Your videos are doing a great job at making the capabilites of Emacs acessible for users coming from a non-technical background. Thank you very much! 0:00 Introduction 1:00 The 'find-file' command; Navigating and opening directories and files 10:17 Accessing and navigating history of prior searches 12:10 Navigating by using an absolute file system path 15:02 The 'vertico' and the 'marginalia' package 17:28 Finding files and directories by typing just abbreviations 19:14 Configure dired to hide details (dired-hide-details-mode) 20:11 'dired-jump' (C-x C-j): command for jumping to parent directory 21:29 'dired-directory-up (^) 22:20 'dired-find-file-other-window' (o) 24:07 Moving and renaming files 25:38 How to delete a file (D) 26:45 How to rename a file (R) 29:13 Operating on multiple files at once 32:22 Making dired buffer editable (C-x C-q), save changes with C-C C-c 33:32 Recording a keyboard macro 36:26 Using dired as a dual pane file manager 39:00 Create an empty file by visiting a file that doesn't exist with C-x C-f 39:58 Mark files that match a given regexp (% m) 41:54 Remove marked items from the current listing without deleting (k) 44:40 Remove everything except marked items from the current listing by toggling the mark (t) and (k) 46:34 Introduction to file permissions 48:17 How to modify file permissions 51:11 A few more commands 51:45 project-find-file 53:32 Introducing the 'consult' package 54:07 Searching with 'consult-find' 56:25 Use dired to open files externally 1:00:37 How to populate the minibuffer with the file at point in a buffer 1:01:34 The 'dired' command for opening directories

These are beautiful

this video was filmed on my birthday. i remember exactly what i was doing while you were filming this video

One of the best and efficient video/instructions for find-file and dired. Thanks a lot!

Prot, happy to see you back on Emacs track and full of energy as it seems. Have a great Sunday, greetings from Germany

what I find useful for quickly searching a dir full of files is to just use n and p to move point up and down in dired and then visit a file with letter v and exiting it with q. that is blazingly fast and as it does not require the kill buffer shortcut

Thanks, the set header and auto align features are pretty spiffy!

Very nice. It is always good to see you mastering Emacs and being so understandable in showcasing everything. Also, I noticed along your life trajectory, you master (or have good knowledge) about a wide range of things. Emacs, linux in general (wms scripts), philosophy, politics, and just recently the construction area. ` How do you learn things? Learning is a wide area discussed in psychology, pedagogy, and philosophy. Although we have a variety of yt content on the subject, it is not quite rich in content and is just "show off quick methods" in order to "hack your brain". Just a curiosity and a way to compliment your intelligence. Thanks for taking the time to record this video. Much appreciated.

thank you for the detailed information.

excellent recap of the basics. Brothers of the true church make no proselytes! :)

thanks mate.

;; I can't do without those dired configurations ;; I find dired-jump very useful, jump to current directory of the current buffer (define-key global-map (kbd "C-x C-") 'dired-jump) ;; Makes the dired buffer uncluttered and more clear (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'dired-hide-details-mode) ; hide ls information, show only file names (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'hl-line-mode) ; highlight current line on dired buffers ;; using double paned midnight commander's like workflow (setq dired-dwim-target t) ;; Delete files by trashing, it is safer than just deleting (setq delete-by-moving-to-trash t) ;;; optional stuff (setq dired-recursive-copies 'always) (setq dired-recursive-deletes 'top) (setq dired-create-destination-dirs 'ask)

Just wow, I think I just stumbled on my favorite Emacs channel, very well done! I love the pace and you keep it interesting at all times, no meaningless chatting about irrelevant stuff. I have a kind of unrelated question which you may have a separate video about (sorry, haven't explored all your content yet): I couldn't help by noticing your very clean environment. I assume you're using a tiling window manager, and I see no panels or chrome around the windows. Could you share what setup you're using when it comes window management? Thanks again!

The more I watch these videos the more it's harder for me to use other editors. Emacs ruined everything else for me

I love your videos, you are an excelent teacher! I have a question: How do you see the icons next to the names in dired? Mine only shows the name, not the pretty icons you have next. Thank you!

Could you please clarify how to get the icons next to the files and directories in the buffer ? I'm unable to see it in my dired installation of emacs.

no 1 best man

I love your theme! please tell me what theme this is! i've been looking for something bright and colorful that looks good

amazing as always Prot! Do you have any code handy so that 'RET' runs the default program suggested after calling '(dired-do-async-shell-command'? E.g hitting 'RET' on video opens it with mpv etc

1:01:25 oh, i didn't know that!

Hi, Prot! I think in one of your videos you have a dired view that shows full file paths for each file, unlikely the normal view that is the heading for the folder the files are in then their names listed. Can you shed some light how I can have full file name lists instead of the default view? I know this sounds kinda dumb, but I want to have a dired buffer that lists all files under a directory and mark some files comparing to a another dired buffer containing symlinks. If I want to edit or delete or add these symlinks, I will make a macro so Emacs will mark them all, comparing the two buffers, so I can keep track and not mark all the musics again and eventually forget some. I am pretty sure I have some duplicates filenames, so path+filename is the safer way to do it. That's how I am planning to sync music across my phone and computer (local music gang + syncthing + emacs shenanigans).

Hi Prot, Do you know how to always use short version on a folder? Right now I have to press ( to toggle short mode.

I don't think its default behaviour for emacs to read as you type and update the displayed files. Maybe you have some setting enabled that I'm not aware of

Your Emacs videos should come with a NSFT (Not Safe For Tinkerers) warning! I just know before even watching this, that I'm going to pick up some 'Oh, that's neat' trick, and want to `C-x b` my init.el This time I shall resist.

emacs or vim?
