Sometimes when I have split windows and press :E to explore the file system,
the cursor jumps to a different window than the one I was in when I pressed :E.
This is very frustrating because I have to move back to the original window to
select a file. What could cause this?
According to ":help :Explore" (quoted below), the directory browser will
take over the current window if the file hasn't been modified, otherwise
it will open a new split-window:
:Explore will open the local-directory browser on the current file's
directory (or on directory [dir] if specified). The window will be
split only if the file has been modified, otherwise the browsing
window will take over that window. Normally the splitting is taken
horizontally.
:Explore! is like :Explore, but will use vertical splitting.
:Sexplore will always split the window before invoking the local-directory
browser. As with Explore, the splitting is normally done
horizontally.
:Sexplore! [dir] is like :Sexplore, but the splitting will be done vertically.
:Hexplore [dir] does an :Explore with |:belowright| horizontal splitting.
:Hexplore! [dir] does an :Explore with |:aboveleft| horizontal splitting.
:Vexplore [dir] does an :Explore with |:leftabove| vertical splitting.
:Vexplore! [dir] does an :Explore with |:rightbelow| vertical splitting.
:Texplore [dir] does a tabnew before generating the browser window
By default, these commands use the current file's directory. However, one may
explicitly provide a directory (path) to use.
The [N] will override |g:netrw_winsize| to specify the quantity of rows and/or
columns the new explorer window should have.
Otherwise, the |g:netrw_winsize| variable, if it has been specified by the
user, is used to control the quantity of rows and/or columns new explorer
windows should have.
:Rexplore This command is a little different from the others. When one
edits a file, for example by pressing <cr> when atop a file in
a netrw browser window, :Rexplore will return the display to
that of the last netrw browser window. It is a command version
of the <2-leftmouse> map (which is only available under gvim and
cooperative terms).
