This behaviour stays even after = closing > the panel via C-x 0 Hi Hadrien, Sorry for the lack of documentation, here are the explanations: C-c C-f is bound to load-config-file(filename). It searches for a file = in the load-path where configuration files are loaded from. It can be used to load the ~/.qe/config file from anywhere and I also = use it to load files from my scripts directory without having to specify = the exact path I intend to add completion to the command, but it requires some tweaking = as the matches do not necessarily share a common prefix. Why do you not want completion? It mostly the behavior of the space bar = that is a problem? The curious behavior on navigation from the dired pane is called = preview-mode: the cursor movement commands cause scrolling instead of = moving the current point. You can exit this mode with the Enter key. I use it to navigate efficiently with the keyboard : - the right key in the dired pane switches to the file buffer - the left key in preview mode at the start of a line switches back to = the dired pane - the up and down keys scroll the window contents for reading the fiel = contents. - when a different file is viewed, the preview buffer is discarded. Multi-pane dired mode is bound to C-x C-d What is ranger? Probably not this one: = http://www.frc.ri.cmu.edu/~alonzo/projects/ranger/ranger.html = <http://www.frc.ri.cmu.edu/~alonzo/projects/ranger/ranger.html> More likely this: http://ranger.nongnu.org/ <http://ranger.nongnu.org/> =20= I have never used it, I will look into it and see what I can include in = terms of ergonomics. Thanks for your feedback.
