Examples:
w to (dired-do-rename), instead of R, like refile speedkey.
o to (browse-url-of-dired-file), instead of W, like org-open-at-point speedkey.
M-RET to (dired-create-directory), instead of +.
And maybe other org speedkeys.

Although I have found that using dired-subtree gives naturally this oportunity. Here some examples (I must change "u" keybinding, since it is used to unmark files, maybe I could use C-g to unmark files, could it be risky?


;; Bind 'TAB' to toggle subtree visibility (cycle through subdirectories)
(with-eval-after-load 'dired
  (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'dired-subtree-cycle))

;; (org-speed-move-safe 'outline-up-heading) (similar to 'u' in Org-mode for dired-subtree-up)
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "u") 'dired-subtree-up)

 ;; Bind 's' to narrow the view to the current subdirectory
  (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "s") 'dired-subtree-narrow)
