Is there some way to have two windows open with a dired buffer in one and a file view of current file in the other?

v loads the file into the dired buffer.

o loads the file into the other window but changes focus.

I would like the ability to browse the contents of a directory using two windows, but can't figure out how.

Any suggestions?

The default keybinding C-o bound to the command dired-display-file, which displays the file in another window without changing focus.

[The list of all the major-mode keybindings is displayed on hitting C-h m or calling the command M-x describe-keymap RET <dired-mode-map>.]
