Dired
Dired is a directory manager. You can find, open copy, move, delete query and manipulate files and directories.
Open a directory with dired and initialize mark regxexp:
%m
Then, use regex to mark the files.
This will mark all the html files in directory
\.html$
This includes all temporary files in dired
$~
This marks all files beginning with "_78"
^_78
Delete, copy, move files or directories
- To delete, first flag the files ("d"). Then, use "x" to execute delete.
- To compare two files, mark the first file, then go to the other file and press "="
- To rename or move files first flag the file, then use "R"
- Mark all files within a directory (except '.' or '..'):
*s - Unmark all marked files in directory:
U - To copy files use "C" over the file you want to copy
- Convert files or directories to lower (
%l) or upper case (%u)
Tips
- 'f11' toggle full screen mode the current frame
-
ibuffer kill multiple buffers
- After open a list of buffers "M-x ibuffer" mark itens with "m"
and kill with "D"
-
Avoid ido auto complete to rename a file with similar name to those in directory
- Once you've typed the filename you want, hit C-j instead of RET.
- You can temporarily switch back to the "normal" minibuffer behaviour by hitting C-f. Then you can tab-complete the old filename, and edit it as needed.

nanoeditor within emacs use 'CTRL+shift+x' instead of 'CTRL+X'
