*** The =prot-emacs-dired.el= setting for dual-pane Dired
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h:8225364c-3856-48bc-bf64-60d40ddd3320
:END:
I often have two Dired buffers open side-by-side and want to move
files between them. By setting ~dired-dwim-target~ to a ~t~ value,
we get the other buffer as the default target of the current rename or
copy operation. This is exactly what I want.
If there are more than two windows showing Dired buffers, the default
target is the previously visited window.
Note that this only affects how quickly we can access the default
value, as we can always type =M-p= (~previous-history-element~) and
=M-n= (~next-history-element~) to cycle through the minibuffer
history ([[#h:25765797-27a5-431e-8aa4-cc890a6a913a][The =prot-emacs-completion.el= settings for saving the history (~savehist-mode~)]]).
