Dirvish enhances Emacs’ built-in Dired mode, providing a visually appealing and
highly customizable interface. More than just a facelift, Dirvish delivers a
comprehensive suite of features, transforming Dired into a modern and fully
functional file manager.
The experience of dirvish is surreal and even bizarre after all these years of
trying to use dired. Like how professionals make their craft look easy, dirvish
does something similar with how it builds on dired. Dirvish is paradoxical in
that it provides a completely different experience while still fundamentally
being dired at its core.
Dirvish is available from Nongnu-Elpa and Melpa. You can install it directly
via M-x package-install RET dirvish RET on Emacs 28.1+. After installation,
activate Dirvish globally with M-x dirvish-override-dired-mode RET.
Quickstart
M-x dirvish RET
Welcome to Dirvish! Use your favorite dired commands here, press q to quit.
M-x dirvish-dwim RET
Works the same as dirvish when the selected window is the only window;
otherwise, it avoids occupying the entire frame.
M-x dirvish-dispatch RET
This is a help/cheatsheet menu powered by transient.el, the same library used
to implement keyboard-driven menus in Magit and many Dirvish extensions. If
you prefer this interaction style, consider binding these menus to
dirvish-mode-map. See example config for details.
Documentation
For more dirvish customization options and features, see our documentation:
This package draws inspiration from the terminal file manager ranger. Some
extensions began as rewrites of packages from dired-hacks, but have since been
significantly enhanced.
