Right, but do we need the dot for that? I guess this is somewhat related to my bug report #10731 (http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10731). There the argument is that the head of the list is not selected because that is consistent with the buffer selection dialog. I can agree with that. Enter and C-j should not have the same effect. However, isn't the dot in case of the C-x d dialog the head of the list? If the dot wasn't there, C-j could still send you to the current default directory, which would be consistent with the behavior you described in the bug report. Whereas now with the dot, C-j and Enter _have_ the same effect. They both select the current default-directory. If I _dont't_ want to select the current directory but move down a hierarchy of directories which all contain a single subdirectory I always need a C-s to select the subdirectory (and not the dot) and then press Enter. Without the dot I can just press Enter, Enter, Enter etc. and if I want to open dired at any point I press C-j. Christoph
