C-n and C-p have been bound to `dired-next-line' and
`dired-previous-line' for over 5 years and yours is the first
complaint that I'm aware of. Personally, I like it because the
positioning of "n" and "p" is really hard on my hands, whereas binding
C-n and C-p mean that the arrow keys can be used. However, if you are
unhappy with the binding you can easily change it in
`dired-setup-keys-hook'.
