Visiting Files in Dired
There are several Dired commands for visiting or examining the files
listed in the Dired buffer. All of them apply to the current line's
file; if that file is really a directory, these commands invoke Dired on
that subdirectory (using a separate Dired buffer).
Visit the file described on the current line, like typing `C-x C-f'
and supplying that file name (`dired-find-file'). *Note
Like `f', but uses another window to display the file's buffer
(`dired-find-file-other-window'). The Dired buffer remains visible
in the first window. This is like using `C-x 4 C-f' to visit the
file. Note: Windows.
Visit the file described on the current line, and display the
buffer in another window, but do not select that window
View the file described on the current line, using `M-x view-file'
Viewing a file is like visiting it, but is slanted toward moving
around in the file conveniently and does not allow changing the
file. Note: View File.
