Subject: bug#65621: [PATCH] `dired-next-line' go to meaningful line
Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2023 19:17:42 +0000

It's bad enough that some users (apparently
including some folks writing in this thread)
don't know about operating on a whole dir
listing through its header line.

It would be far worse if Emacs were to make
discovery of such a great feature more
difficult.  The fact that `n' and `p' move
to header lines - especially if they skip
over blank lines - invites users to discover
that they can act there on a whole listing.
