Hi,
I would like my netrw buffers to behave as normal buffers, rather than
automagically disappear when one selects a file to edit from these
buffers. That would mean that I could :bd the edited file, and
automatically return to the netrw buffer to select another file from it.
I have tried to achieve this with autocommands, like:
autocmd FileType netrw setlocal buflisted
autocmd FileType netrw setlocal bufhidden=hide
but that doesn't do the trick.
I have a couple of mappings which pretend that the buffer is still
there by recreating it, but that is an error-prone approach:
inoremap <c-f4> <esc>:w <bar> bd <bar> e.<cr>
noremap <c-f4> :w <bar> bd <bar> e.<cr>
inoremap <f4> <esc>:bd <bar> e.<cr>
noremap <f4> :bd <bar> e.<cr>
Is there some user option that can be set to modify the behaviour of
netrw buffers so that they are
1) not deleted
2) listed
In fact, I would like a similar behaviour for my help buffers, but that
is lower on my wishlist. (Maybe SantaClaus could bring me that one) :)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, your family and your friends.
Guido.
