Dired

how to make a copy of a file

C (dired-do-copy) — with point on the file, it prompts for the destination; enter a new name in the same directory to make a sibling copy.

Handy variations:

  • C with a prefix on multiple marked files copies them all into a target directory.
  • dired-dwim-target t (you may already have it) makes the default destination the other dired window — nice for two-pane copying.
  • To copy into the same directory quickly, C then just edit the filename in the minibuffer (it pre-fills the directory).
