emacscopydiredido-modeido

copy paste various files using dired on emacs while using ido.el


I'm using emacs with dired,

(require 'dired-details)
(dired-details-install)

and ido,

(setq ido-enable-flex-matching t)
(setq ido-everywhere t)
(ido-mode 1)

(setq ido-use-filename-at-point 'guess)
(setq ido-create-new-buffer 'always)

(as well as recentf as described here)

However, when I'm in dired and do copy (Shift-C) after selecting a few files, and go to the new directory where they should be pasted ... I have two non-working options: 1) either I click on a directory and go a level further into a directory I don't want. 2) I click on a file and ido complains

Marked Copy: target must be a directory:

How can I make dired paste the selected files to the new destination? Any help appreciated, thank you.


Solution

  • Try C-j once you are in the target directory in ido. Works for me.
