Just use mouse, `{forward,backward}-{char,word}',
`{previous,next}-line', etc.  Anyway, I just changed the definition of
`dired-next-line', so actually users have many ways to do what they

Isn't it great that no matter how you move up or down, you never leave
the item line?  Without this, if you move the cursor to the last line
accidentally, to enter one of those files, you need to press one more
keystroke.
