+** Dired (quick file management in emacs)
+Dired is a built-in file manager for Emacs that does some pretty amazing things!  Here are some key bindings you should try out:
+*** Key Bindings
+**** Navigation
+
+*Emacs* / *Evil*
+- =n= / =j= - next line
+- =p= / =k= - previous line
+- =j= / =J= - jump to file in buffer
+- =RET= - select file or directory
+- =^= - go to parent directory
+- =S-RET= / =g O= - Open file in "other" window
+- =M-RET= - Show file in other window without focusing (previewing files)
+- =g o= (=dired-view-file=) - Open file but in a "preview" mode, close with =q=
+- =g= / =g r= Refresh the buffer with =revert-buffer= after changing configuration (and after filesystem changes!)
+
+**** Marking files
+
+- =m= - Marks a file
+- =u= - Unmarks a file
+- =U= - Unmarks all files in buffer
+- =* t= / =t= - Inverts marked files in buffer
+- =% m= - Mark files in buffer using regular expression
+- =*= - Lots of other auto-marking functions
+- =k= / =K= - "Kill" marked items (refresh buffer with =g= / =g r= to get them back)
+- Many operations can be done on a single file if there are no active marks!
+
+**** Copying and Renaming files
+
+- =C= - Copy marked files (or if no files are marked, the current file)
+- Copying single and multiple files
+- =U= - Unmark all files in buffer
+- =R= - Rename marked files, renaming multiple is a move!
+- =% R= - Rename based on regular expression: =^test= , =old-\&=
+
+*Power command*: =C-x C-q= (=dired-toggle-read-only=) - Makes all file names in the buffer editable directly to rename them!  Press =Z Z= to confirm renaming or =Z Q= to abort.
+
+**** Deleting files
+
+- =D= - Delete marked file
+- =d= - Mark file for deletion
+- =x= - Execute deletion for marks
+- =delete-by-moving-to-trash= - Move to trash instead of deleting permanently
+
+**** Creating and extracting archives
+
+- =Z= - Compress or uncompress a file or folder to (=.tar.gz=)
+- =c= - Compress selection to a specific file
+- =dired-compress-files-alist= - Bind compression commands to file extension
+
+**** Other common operations
+
+- =T= - Touch (change timestamp)
+- =M= - Change file mode
+- =O= - Change file owner
+- =G= - Change file group
+- =S= - Create a symbolic link to this file
+- =L= - Load an Emacs Lisp file into Emacs
