Dired

dired is a built-in package in Emacs that allows for basic file navigation. While it serves its purpose, vanilla dired is far from a good file navigator. With some basic customization however, this can be changed.

  (use-package dired
    :ensure nil
    :commands (dired dired-jump)
    :bind (("C-x C-j" . dired-jump))
    :custom ((dired-listing-switches "-ahgo"))
    :config
    (evil-collection-define-key 'normal 'dired-mode-map
      "h" 'dired-up-directory
      "l" 'dired-find-file
      "T" 'dired-create-empty-file))

All the Icons Dired

all-the-icons-dired is a dired plugin that adds icons to each of the files.

  (use-package all-the-icons-dired
    :after dired
    :hook (dired-mode . all-the-icons-dired-mode))

Hide Dotfiles

This hides all dotfiles in dired with the keybinding H.

(use-package dired-hide-dotfiles
  :hook (dired-mode . dired-hide-dotfiles-mode)
  :config
  (evil-collection-define-key 'normal 'dired-mode-map
    "H" 'dired-hide-dotfiles-mode))
