You can use dired-jump from the builtin dired-x.el. I have it bound to C-x C-j, you can setup your own key binding.


dired-jump


dired-x.el



C-x C-j runs the command dired-jump (found in global-map), which is an
interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in dired-x.el.


C-x C-j


dired-jump


dired-x.el



It is bound to C-x C-j.



(dired-jump &optional OTHER-WINDOW FILE-NAME)



Jump to Dired buffer corresponding to current buffer. If in a file,
Dired the current directory and move to file's line.
If in Dired
already, pop up a level and goto old directory's line. In case the
proper Dired file line cannot be found, refresh the dired buffer and
try again.
When OTHER-WINDOW is non-nil, jump to Dired buffer in other
window. When FILE-NAME is non-nil, jump to its line in Dired.
Interactively with prefix argument, read FILE-NAME.
