quick-dired-command

Perform operations on the current file.

Alt-o

This command provides a convenient way to perform various operations on the file associated with the current buffer. It prompts for another key, with choices as listed below. Many of them are similar to the corresponding commands in a dired buffer.

D: deletes the file associated with the current buffer, after prompting for confirmation.
C: copies the file associated with the current buffer, prompting for a destination. If the buffer contains unsaved changes, they won't be in the copy; this command affects the file on disk only.
M: renames or moves the file associated with the current buffer, prompting for a destination. It doesn't change the file name associated with the current buffer, which will still refer to the original file.
<Period>: runs the dired command on the current file.
G: changes the current directory to the one containing the current file.
+: prompts for a subdirectory name, then creates a new subdirectory in the directory containing the current file.
!: prompts for a command line, then runs that command, appending the current file name to it.
V: runs the "viewer" for the current file; the program assigned to it according to Windows file association. For executable files, it runs the program. For document files, it typically runs the Windows program assigned to that file extension. (Epsilon for Windows only.)
T: displays the Windows property page for the file. (Epsilon for Windows only.)
F: opens the folder containing this file in Explorer. (Epsilon for Windows only.)
?: displays this list of subcommands.
