Hi Prot,
Hello Peter,
Interesting new package that is very useful for managing my
collections of photographs.
Yes, this is my use-case as well!
I use arrow keys to navigate Dired buffers. You remap the
`dired-*-line` functions to their `dired-preview-*` equivalents. But
somehow, it only remaps the `p` and `n` keys, not the arrow or space
keys that also map to the dried function.
I was surprised when I noticed this. I expected the remapping to apply
to all key bindings. I don't know why it only picked one, let alone why
it picked that one.
At any rate, we are discussing this on the mailing list, with Christian
Tietze suggesting an alternative approach that may work more reliably:
<https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/general-issues/%3Cm1zg4noej2.fsf%40christiantietze.de%3E>.
Also, should PDFs be included as they are natively read by Emacs?
We can change the 'dired-preview-ignored-extensions-regexp' user option.
I don't have a strong opinion about it. We already have previewing with
a delay, plus there is the max size limit. Those help us avoid cases
where Emacs will take a long time to display the file.
All the best,
Prot

This is the same ideas as in commit ae93720, except more generalised. Instead of defining our own commands, we advise Dired to display a preview after one of its standard commands is called. This way we avoid the problem where the key remap mechanism does not actually remap all keys associated with a given command.[1][2] [1] Thanks to Peter Prevos for reporting this in issue 1 on the GitHub mirror: <#1>.
