Hi,
Just changed my monitor to "portrait mode", and don't enjoy the
filenames displayed by dired so want to omit some info (group and owner
are good candidates, as well as modified times). Even better, is there
something like dired-x omit for columns instead of files? I use omit to
toggle hidden files, and another keybinding to toggle columns would be
awesome.
E.g. i want to change from

Try customising dired-listing-switches!

I can't see how that helps, can you provide an example? It would be neat
if it is possible!

I keep details hidden 80% of the time, and toggle showing/hiding using key `('.
FWIW, this feature was agreed by Emacs Dev (including RMS) to be added to Emacs
years ago, but despite frequent reminders that has never happened. Anyway, it
is easy enough to add this to your `~/.emacs'. Enjoy.

Thanks, this is exacly what I needed, works perfect! I agree it should
be added by default, as it is a rare occasion when the details are of
any interest. Oh, well, it is easy enugh to install once you know where
to find it (my google skillset obviously let me down again...)
