Subject: Browsing a set of dir of files in a single buffer
Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2024 15:49:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jwvbk86nc84.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org> (raw)
Org (and `outline-mode` before it) provide a hierarchical structuring
similar to that of files and directories. I like that better than
directories, because I usually find it easier to navigate a big file
than several small files in a directory.
But I don't always get to choose, and sometimes I'm stuck browsing
several small files in a directory hierarchy.
Does anyone know a nice Emacs package that lets me view that whole
hierarchy in a single buffer, as if it were something like a big
`outline-mode` file?
It'd be a bit like dired-mode but where you can see (and hopefully edit)
the files directly in the dired buffer simply by "folding/unfolding" them.
Stefan
