Its commands are generally more modal than most Emacs commands because Dired is a specialized major mode on its own. Dired can perform all expected operations; in operation and use it is akin to an orthodox file manager like Midnight Commander.Dired was the first visual editor of file system information, or File Manager."@en . . . . . . .
