I probably wouldn't found that org-store-link can be used in Dired. Combined with org-super-links and org-open-at-point, it makes it joyful. You asked about what was I imagining, so I will share the configuration I have finished with (by now). My imagination goes beyond, though, like using "r" and "l" to "move" subdirectories one level down or up. Although maybe I would never use it. As said, the keybindings I am using in Dired, inspired many of them by org-mode keybindings: ;; Bind 'TAB' to toggle subtree visibility (cycle through subdirectories) (with-eval-after-load 'dired   (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'dired-subtree-cycle)) ;; Create a new directory (similar to 'M-RET' in Org-mode)   ;; Existing Dired keybinding: '+' is used for 'dired-create-directory'   ;; New keybinding: 'M-RET' (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "M-RET") 'dired-create-directory) ;; (org-speed-move-safe 'outline-up-heading) (similar to 'u' in Org-mode for dired-subtree-up)   ;; Existing Dired keybinding: 'u' for dired-unmark (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) (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "U") 'dired-unmark) (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "C-g") 'dired-unmark-all-marks) (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "N") 'dired-next-line) (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "C-") 'dired-w32explore)
