I like using ido mode in emacs and the listing of directories with C-x C-d which runs ido-list-directory. Is there a command to enable ido-mode operation but at the current point like dired-at-point. I use this quite often but would prefer to use something like ido-dired-at-point.
Didn't know if this was already implemented and I just couldn't find it in the documentation or if it is easy to implement.
Looks like ido-list-directory
is used for interactive completion of list-directory
. So, if the thing at point is a filename, rather than use ido, using list-directory
directly should achieve the same end result.
How about something like this:
(defun ido-ffap-list-directory ()
(interactive)
(let ((fap (ffap-guess-file-name-at-point)))
(if fap
(list-directory (file-name-directory fap))
(ido-list-directory))))
EDIT:
or, if you want confirmation for the directory @ point (only for a C-u
prefix) replace the list-directory
sexp above with something like this:
(defun ido-ffap-list-directory (&optional arg)
(interactive "P")
(let ((fap (ffap-guess-file-name-at-point)))
(if (null fap)
(ido-list-directory)
(if arg
(list-directory
(ido-read-directory-name "Directory: "
(file-name-directory fap)))
(list-directory (file-name-directory fap))))))
