How can I make emacs open next directory in same window?

How can I make emacs open next directory in same window?

[ssecorp]

I have some things about emacs I find annoying.

1. If I have split emacs into 2 windows and in one I open a directory
in one and click on them it will open in the other window, how can I
make it open in the same window?

2. If I have solit first into 2 vertical windows and then split one of
them into 2 horizontal and I want to undo the last split, can I do
that? C-x-1 undoes all...

3. If I want to split into 3 equally big windows and not split into 2
then split one of them into 2, how would I do that?
I want 1/3,1/3,1/3 not 1/2,1/4,1/4

Either type f (to follow into that directory) or bind the <mouse-2>  
event to a different function than the default dired-mouse-find-file- 
other-window.

In dired.el, near the top of a loong initialisation of the dired keymap
(line 1191), there's a line like this:

(define-key map [mouse-2] 'dired-mouse-find-file-other-window)

Looking at the definition of dired-mouse-find-file-other-window, you
find:


[-- Attachment #1.2: b.el --]
[-- Type: application/emacs-lisp, Size: 708 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #1.3: Type: text/plain, Size: 58 bytes --]


(yes. Eek) So I would try something like the following:


[-- Attachment #1.4: c.el --]
[-- Type: application/emacs-lisp, Size: 744 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #1.5: Type: text/plain, Size: 1028 bytes --]


Note that this is a bit rubbish - the only change is on the 3rd last
line of the function. If anyone knows whether it's possible to
dynamically bind dired-other-window to be dired for a sec while calling
the other version, it'd be a lot more elegant.

Anyway, that worked for me here!

Well this one's easy :)

C-x 0 deletes a window, so if you have the situation you described, when
you're in the window marked *

/-------------\
|  *   |      |
+-------------+
|      |      |
\-------------/

hitting C-x 0 will give you

/-------------\
|      *      |
+-------------+
|      |      |
\-------------/

etc.

I didn't know of existing code to do this, so I hacked something up
myself:


[-- Attachment #1.6: a.el --]
[-- Type: application/emacs-lisp, Size: 608 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #1.7: Type: text/plain, Size: 142 bytes --]


Exercise for reader: Deal with the rounding errors that I've completely
ignored.

That said, it seems to work reasonably well here!

That's what winner-mode does.

The command 'balance-window' is bound to 'C-x +', at least this side :)

-ap

I think that the OP read C-x + balance-windows as a single command.
Indeed is “C-x +” /or/ “M-x balance-windows”.

It's C-x here.

How can I make emacs open next directory in same window when I use the
mouse? Let's say I have 2 split windows and then I have the
directories open in one and a program ion the tiher. now if click the
folders they open in the program-window instead of the same window.

Er, both I and others replied to your post a few days ago, which was
itemized into 3 sections.

My reply to your first section answered this question then. Since your
question hasn't changed, neither has the answer.

This works, you don't even need to point exactly at the filename:

(defun mouse-find-file (click)
  "Inspect the file the mouse is pointing at."
  (interactive "@e")
  (mouse-set-point click)
  (find-file (dired-get-filename)))

I bind it like this:

(define-key dired-mode-map [mouse-2] 'mouse-find-file)

this is not answering your question but from what you describe i'm under 
impression you may be interested in trying speedbar mode
