I like the way vim allows you to view the files in a directory, then
directly go to them. But then to go back after editing the file I
chose, I repeatedly hit ctrl-O until I get back to the file listing.
It would be nice if I can maybe open the file in a new buffer, and
when I'm done, just close the new buffer I opened. Is there an easy
way to do this? Ctrl+w, followed by enter didn't seem to work, and
neither did gF.
It sounds like you want "o" (lowercase-oh), used to open the file
under the cursor in a new window.
:help netrw-o
Though I agree that your Ctrl+W and gF are reasonable
expectations...I myself used them diminishingly for the 2-3
months it took me to finally wire my brain to use "o". :)
Also, on a somewhat related note, is there a way to quickly save a
buffer and then close it. :wq allows you to save and quit, but I'm a
bit annoyed by having to do :w<enter>, :bd<enter>.
I don't know of any built-in single-command to do it. However,
you can either map a command to do it:
:nnoremap <f4> :w<cr>:bd<cr>
or you can fiddle with the 'bufhidden' option:
:set bufhidden=delete
and then just use ":wq" as normal.
