Start Emacs with -Q, type C-x C-j, Emacs beeps and says "C-x C-j is undefined". Now type `M-x dired-jump' and you get a Dired buffer of the default directory. Type q to bury it, and now typing C-x C-j works and brings up the default directory again. The reason for this behavior is that the command dired-jump from dired-x.el is autoloaded, but its default global keybinding, C-x C-j, is not. Since this keybinding is conditioned on the value of the defcustom dired-bind-jump, it is not possible to put the keybinding on an autoload cookie, as is done e.g. with C-x d in dired.el. But users can always change or eliminate the keybinding anyway, so dired-bind-jump isn't really a very interesting defcustom. So, since the default value of dired-bind-jump is t, I suggest eliminating dired-bind-jump and the condition on the keybinding, and autoloading the latter. Ditto for the keybinding of dired-jump-other-window, and also autoload this command. Steve Berman 2008-05-08 Stephen Berman * dired-x.el (dired-bind-jump): Eliminate. Add key bindings for `dired-jump' and `dired-jump-other-window' as autoload cookies. (dired-jump-other-window): Add autoload cookie.
