2.2: Optional Installation File At Point

If you choose to have `dired-x.el' bind dired-x-find-file over find-file (See Find File At Point), then you will need to set dired-x-hands-off-my-keys and make a call to the function dired-x-bind-find-file in the dired-load-hook:

(add-hook 'dired-load-hook 
          (function (lambda ()
                      (load "dired-x")
                      ;; Bind dired-x-find-file.
                      (setq dired-x-hands-off-my-keys nil)
                      ;; Make sure our binding preference is invoked.
                      (dired-x-bind-find-file)
                      )))

Alternatively, you can set the variable before `dired-x.el' is loaded

(add-hook 'dired-load-hook 
          (function (lambda ()
                      ;; Bind dired-x-find-file.
                      (setq dired-x-hands-off-my-keys nil)
                      (load "dired-x")
                      )))
