2.2 Optional Installation File At Point

If you choose to have dired-x.el bind dired-x-find-file over find-file (see Find File At Point), then you will need to set dired-x-hands-off-my-keys and make a call to the function dired-x-bind-find-file in the dired-load-hook:

     (add-hook 'dired-load-hook
               (lambda ()
                 (load "dired-x")
                 ;; Bind dired-x-find-file.
                 (setq dired-x-hands-off-my-keys nil)
                 ;; Make sure our binding preference is invoked.
                 (dired-x-bind-find-file)
                 ))

Alternatively, you can set the variable before dired-x.el is loaded

     (add-hook 'dired-load-hook
               (lambda ()
                 ;; Bind dired-x-find-file.
                 (setq dired-x-hands-off-my-keys nil)
                 (load "dired-x")
                 ))
