Emacs file and directory browsing Emacs has Dired, a great method for browsing directories; especially in combination with ido-mode, I prefer it to Windows Explorer, OS X Finder, Gnome Nautilus, or anything else I’ve used over the decades to browse file systems. You can quickly begin entering paths, and Dired helps you with directory and file name completion. As you browse directories, emacs lets you bookmark any path you may visit again. A very cool feature of emacs is the wide variety of shell-based modes: shell, term, interactive SQL, version control, recursive grep, and more. When you are looking at a Dired buffer and invoke any of those commands, the shell is started in the directory you are looking at.
