locate-mode

locate-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `locate.el'.


(locate-mode)

Parent mode: `dired-mode'.

Major mode for the `*Locate*' buffer made by M-x locate.
In that buffer, you can use almost all the usual dired bindings.
V visits the directory of the file on the current line.
This function runs `locate-mode-hook' before returning.

Operating on listed files works, but does not always
automatically update the buffer as in ordinary Dired.
This is true both for the main listing and for subdirectories.
Reverting the buffer using g deletes all subdirectories.
Specific `locate-mode' commands, such as V,
do not work in subdirectories.
