Finding Files and URLs at Point
FFAP mode replaces certain key bindings for finding files, including
C-x C-f, with commands that provide more sensitive defaults.
These commands behave like the ordinary ones when given a prefix
argument. Otherwise, they get the default file name or URL from the
text around point. If what is found in the buffer has the form of a
URL rather than a file name, the commands use browse-url to
view it.
This feature is useful for following references in mail or news
buffers, README files, MANIFEST files, and so on. The
ffap package's commentary available via C-h p and the
ffap Custom group provide details.
You can turn on FFAP minor mode to make the following key bindings
and to install hooks for using ffap in Rmail, Gnus and VM
article buffers.
- C-x C-f filename <RET>
- Find filename, guessing a default from text around point
(
find-file-at-point).
- C-x 4 f
ffap-other-window, analogous to find-file-other-window.
- C-x 5 f
ffap-other-frame, analogous to find-file-other-frame.
- M-x ffap-next
- Search buffer for next file name or URL, then find that file or URL.
- C-x d directory <RET>
- Start Dired on directory, defaulting to the directory name at
point (
ffap-dired-at-point).
- S-Mouse-3
ffap-at-mouse finds the file guessed from text around the position
of a mouse click.
- C-S-Mouse-3
- Display a menu of files and URLs mentioned in current buffer, then
find the one you select (
ffap-menu).
