I have been using gvim in certain cases as you had suggested. I have a
gvim session up. The left window is a directory listing and the right
window is an open file (opened by pressing 'enter' on one of the file
names on the left window). I pressed the key i a few times for the
left window to get a hierarchical listing. Also, I have set
g:netrw_browse_split to 4. So things are good, except for one annoying
problem. When the cursor is on the left window and I click on the
right window to make it the active window, that does not happen.
Instead what I get is that the directory listing disappears from the
left window and in its place it opens a new file for editing. The name
of this file is the same as the line on which I had clicked on the
right window. Clearly, this is not what I wanted and I have to bring
back the directory listing by doing a :Explore. Usually (while not
listing directory contents), I can click on a window to make it the
active window and it works fine there. Why is it not working in this
case then? How do I avoid this problem? Thanks!
