Sure, it's emacs. You can use `dired-omit-mode' which in in dired-x.el. Here's my setup: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (require 'dired-x) (setq dired-omit-files (rx (or (seq bol (? ".") "#") ;; emacs autosave files (seq bol "." (not (any "."))) ;; dot-files (seq "~" eol) ;; backup-files (seq bol "CVS" eol) ;; CVS dirs ))) (setq dired-omit-extensions (append dired-latex-unclean-extensions dired-bibtex-unclean-extensions dired-texinfo-unclean-extensions)) (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook (lambda () (dired-omit-mode 1))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- With `M-o' you cat toggle the mode. Hope that helps, Tassilo
