Well, don't use `o' then. Duh. That's what C-o is for.
Unfortunately, C-o has the side effect of loading the file into a
buffer. And the buffer then stays around. It would be nice to have
dired record when a buffer only becomes populated by C-o and kill it
when the window gets deleted or reassociated without the buffer ever
becoming the current buffer.
`o' currently has the advantage that you can move back into dired using
C-x 4 0 (why doesn't C-x 4 k work? That binding is quite more mnemonic)
and get rid of the buffer that way.
