Emacs: narrowed Dired

Raw link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6YA4tiW1eQ

In this screen cast I demonstrate certain techniques for filtering the listing produced by dired (the powerful built-in file manager for Emacs).

The narrowed view behaves like a standard Dired buffer. This opens up possibilities for more advanced workflows, such as to run a keyboard macro on the files.

Here is my configuration file, with all my settings for Dired and more: protesilaos.com/emacs/dotemacs.
