dired-visit-history.el extends
Emacs
dired
file visiting (its usual "Ret") to add filenames to
file-name-history so they appear in the history for
find-file and similar.
Whether you want this is a matter of personal preference, but it's good for unifying the history no matter whether typing in a filename or following a dired name.
