,----[ C-h k v ]
| v runs the command dired-view-file
| which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `dired.el'.
| It is bound to v, <menu-bar> <immediate> <view>.
| (dired-view-file)
|
| In Dired, examine a file in view mode, returning to Dired when done.
| When file is a directory, show it in this buffer if it is inserted.
| Otherwise, display it in another buffer.

,----[ C-h k C-x C-q ]
| C-x C-q runs the command toggle-read-only
| which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `files.el'.
| It is bound to C-x C-q.
| (toggle-read-only &optional arg)
|
| Change whether this buffer is visiting its file read-only.
| With prefix argument arg, make the buffer read-only if arg is
| positive, otherwise make it writable. If visiting file read-only
| and `view-read-only' is non-nil, enter view mode.
