Both dired and grep-find give you a list of targets that you can select via= mouse-1 or mouse-2, which causes the target file to open in another window= .

I then started noticin= g dired do the same thing but not to the same extent because I wasn't worki= ng with super-long lists of results. I'm a heavy org-mode user so I often need to find something in a notes file= that's several years old (grepping through old notes files is basically ho= w I do my life. :) > Also, does this happen in "emacs -Q"?
