Hi,
Is there a way to make the netrw dir listing maintain
the cursor position?
For example if I do a dir listing on a big dir, scroll down, and
press enter to edit a file, when I go back to the dir listing the
cursor is no longer at the file where I left it. The cursor
starts over at the top of the dir listing.
This is a pain if I want to edit a handful of files chosen from
the netrw listing.
Is there a way to maintain the cursor position in the dir listing?
I'm afraid that I don't see this behavior using v143d of netrw. Please
try upgrading netrw and see if you still have this problem.
You may get v143d from:
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW
I should mention that I tried both the wide listing and the default thin
listing when attempting to elicit this behavior. If the behavior
persists, please let me know what netrw settings you may have and any
more details that may be helpful.
I have the same problem, never took time to figure out how to fix it.
Start Vim with: vim -u NORC -N
Edit a directory with lots of files, move to halfway the list.
Press Enter, then :e #.
I end up at the top of the listing.
If after Enter I use CTRL-O I end up at the bottom of the listing.
In both cases using '" takes me to where I wanted to be. Does netrw
jump to the '" mark when opening a directory?
I should've mentioned that I was using :Rex to return to the netrw
window. I've made a change to netrw (v143e); you may obtain it from my
website:
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW
There may be side effects that I'm not currently aware of, however.
Regards,
Chip Campbell
