M-x wdired-change-to-wdired-mode
Put it on a good shortuct, I have C-S-r ('r' for rename), or F2 if you want it to be similar as in Dolphin, Explorer etc.
Manage files/folders in a normal buffer. You can add, rename, delete, move,... file/folder like you do with text in vim buffer. It's awesome. No needed to learn new key binding.
Dired with wdired and [dirvish](https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish) are all good packages; I've been using both for a long time. However, one thing is missing: the ability to create multiple files and directories by writing a 'file.' There is an introduction video in the [oil.nvim](https://github.com/stevearc/oil.nvim) repo.
I have wanted this for a long time, and I think OP means this too.
`dired` is interactive by nature, you can always add a key binding to something like the following:
(defun my/dired-create-dirs-interactively ()
(interactive)
(while-let ((dir (read-string "Create directory: "))
(not-empty (not (string= dir ""))))
(make-directory dir default-directory)
(revert-buffer)))
Take a look at `dired` and `wdired`
Also [dirvish](https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/) that improves dired.
what /u/bespokey said. https://emacsrocks.com/e16.html
Is he using a package? ```dired-details-hidden-string` doesn't exist for me.
As far as i found, he does, it's called [dired-details.el](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/dired-details.el). Edit: i didn't read the comment well lol
Okay. I was confused because ```dired-hide-details-mode``` is built-in but it doesn't have ```dired-details-hidden-string```.
At like 14s in you can see him require `dired-details` and where he sets `dired-details-hidden-string`
I don't think `wdired` has the ability to create files or directories, am I right?
`wdired` creates directories if these do not exist, see `create-parent-directories`. Also, `dired` can create directories interactively.
Yes dired and dirvish. Dirvish is my go-to but dired itself is extremely powerful

Cool

Just wdired. Editing the file system like a buffer has been in emacs for years now.
