You could use the dired-find-alternate-file command, bound by default
to "a".  You can find more information here:
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DiredReuseDirectoryBuffer

However, "a" does not take care of "^", so maybe it would also be good
to add a new option to always reuse the current dired buffer?

Best regards,
