Question

In dired+ in Emacs 23.2.1, how do I navigate to a different directory (“change directory”)?

I know how to move up a directory with ^ and how to move to different directory lines with < and >, but I have been unable to find a command which allows me to navigate to a new directory (by typing in the name) without quiting the current dired window and creating a new one.

Answer 1

C-x C-v will open a file in the current window.
If instead of a file you give the name of a directory it will open it in dired.
