Hm... I can't say that I can remember ever wanting to visit symlinks in
a dired buffer in particular. What's the use case?
Of course, it is of interest if you work a lot with symbolic links: to
move promptly to them with short typing.
I do use them often, that's why I feel good with this.
Of course, if it is not see as something useful it's OK to
discard this idea (that's why I wanted to ask first) :-)
And I think that if I wanted to, I probably wouldn't remember these
keystrokes -- I'd just isearch for -> instead.
I added the menu entry under 'Immediate' for discoverability.
For american keyboards is almost same exercise push < or > than { or }
Also, the curly braces suggested me some directionability in their shape
that we haven't exploit yet.
I have noticed dired+ is not using this key either.
