Just a quickie today. Marcin Borkowski (mbork) has a very nice little post on using Tab with Dired. By default, Tab isn’t defined in Dired but mbork suggests an excellent use for it and provides the code to implement his suggestion.
If there are two Dired windows open, the default destination for Dired commands is “the other window”. That’s a handy thing that not every Emacs user knows. Mbork’s idea is to use Tab to switch between Dired windows.
It’s a small thing, of course, but it’s a nice example of reducing friction in your Emacs workflow. As Mbork says, it’s yet another example of how easy it is to make small optimizations like this in Emacs.
