### 1.1 Features

Some features provided by Dired Extra:

1. Omitting uninteresting files from Dired listing (see Omitting Files in Dired).
2. Guessing shell commands in Dired buffers (see Shell Command Guessing).
3. Running Dired command in non-Dired buffers (see Virtual Dired).
4. Finding a file mentioned in a buffer (see Find File At Point).
5. Commands using file marking (see Advanced Mark Commands).

`dired-x.el` binds some functions to keys in Dired Mode (see Key Index) and also binds `C-x C-j` and `C-x 4 C-j` globally to `dired-jump` (see Miscellaneous Commands). Optionally, it also binds `C-x C-f` and `C-x 4 C-f` to `dired-x-find-file` and `dired-x-find-file-other-window`, respectively (see Find File At Point).
