64 The Netrw plugin is generally sourced automatically as it is a
|
|
|
65 |standard-plugin|. That said, to make use of netrw, one must
|
|
|
66 have plugins available which can be done with the following
|
|
|
67 two lines in your <.vimrc>:
|
|
7
|
68
|
|
9
|
69 set nocp " 'compatible' is not set
|
|
|
70 filetype plugin on " plugins are enabled
|
|
7
|
71
|
|
|
72 You can avoid loading this plugin by setting the "loaded_netrw" variable
|
|
|
73 in your <.vimrc> file: >
|
|
|
74
|
|
|
75 :let loaded_netrw = 1

126 CHANGING USERID AND PASSWORD *netrw-chgup*
|

|
127 Attempts to use ftp will prompt you for a user-id and a password.
|
|
|
128 These will be saved in g:netrw_uid and g:netrw_passwd Subsequent uses
|
|
|
129 of ftp will re-use those. If you need to use a different user id
|
|
|
130 and/or password, you'll want to call NetUserPass() first.
|
|
|
131
|
|
|
132 :NetUserPass [uid [password]] -- prompts as needed
|
|
|
133 :call NetUserPass() -- prompts for uid and password
|
|
|
134 :call NetUserPass("uid") -- prompts for password
|
|
|
135 :call NetUserPass("uid","password") -- sets global uid and password

|
|

|
|
|
149 If you're having trouble with ftp, try changing the

|
163 *g:netrw_win95ftp* =1 if using Win95, will remove four trailing blank
|
|
|
164 lines that o/s's ftp "provides" on transfers
|
|
|
165 =0 force normal ftp behavior (no trailing line removal)
|
|
22
|
166
|
|
482
|
167 *g:netrw_cygwin* =1 assume scp under windows is from cygwin. Also
|
|
|
168 permits network browsing to use ls with time and
|
|
|
169 size sorting (default if windows)
|
|
|
170 =0 assume Windows' scp accepts windows-style paths
|
|
|
171 Network browsing uses dir instead of ls
|
|
|
172 This option is ignored if you're using unix
|
|
|
173
|
|
|
174 *g:netrw_use_nt_rcp* =0 don't use the rcp of WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP
|

179 Paths to files are generally user-directory relative for most protocols.
|
|
|
180 It is possible that some protocol will make paths relative to some
|
|
|
181 associated directory, however.

|
194 2. Network-Oriented File Transfer *netrw-xfer*
|
|
|
195
|
|
|
196 Network-oriented file transfer under Vim is implemented by a VimL-based script
|
|
559
|
197 (<netrw.vim>) using plugin techniques. It currently supports both reading and
|
|
|
198 writing across networks using rcp, scp, ftp or ftp+<.netrc>, scp, fetch,
|
|
7
|
199 dav/cadaver, rsync, or sftp.
|
|
|
200
|
|
|
201 http is currently supported read-only via use of wget or fetch.
|
|
|
202
|
|
|
203 <netrw.vim> is a standard plugin which acts as glue between Vim and the
|
|
|
204 various file transfer programs. It uses autocommand events (BufReadCmd,
|
|
|
205 FileReadCmd, BufWriteCmd) to intercept reads/writes with url-like filenames. >
|
|
|
206
|
|
|
207 ex. vim ftp://hostname/path/to/file
|
|
|
208 <
|
|
559
|
209 The characters preceding the colon specify the protocol to use; in the
|
|
|
210 example, its ftp. The <netrw.vim> script then formulates a command or a
|
|
|
211 series of commands (typically ftp) which it issues to an external program
|
|
|
212 (ftp, scp, etc) which does the actual file transfer/protocol. Files are read
|
|
|
213 from/written to a temporary file (under Unix/Linux, /tmp/...) which the
|
|
|
214 <netrw.vim> script will clean up.
|
|
7
|
215
|
|
559
|
216 One may modify any protocol's implementing external application by setting a
|
|
|
217 variable (ex. scp uses the variable g:netrw_scp_cmd, which is defaulted to
|
|
|
218 "scp -q").
|
|
7
|
219
|
|
|
220 Ftp, an old protocol, seems to be blessed by numerous implementations.
|
|
559
|
221 Unfortunately, some implementations are noisy (ie., add junk to the end of the
|
|
|
222 file). Thus, concerned users may decide to write a NetReadFixup() function
|
|
|
223 that will clean up after reading with their ftp. Some Unix systems (ie.,
|
|
|
224 FreeBSD) provide a utility called "fetch" which uses the ftp protocol but is
|
|
|
225 not noisy and more convenient, actually, for <netrw.vim> to use.
|
|
7
|
226 Consequently, if "fetch" is executable, it will be used to do reads for
|
|
|
227 ftp://... (and http://...) . See |netrw-var| for more about this.
|
|
|
228
|
|
|
229 For rcp, scp, sftp, and http, one may use network-oriented file transfers
|
|
459
|
230 transparently; ie.
|
|
7
|
231 >
|
|
|
232 vim rcp://[user@]machine/path
|
|
|
233 vim scp://[user@]machine/path
|
|
|
234 <
|
|
|
235 If your ftp supports <.netrc>, then it too can be just as transparently used
|
|
|
236 if the needed triad of machine name, user id, and password are present in
|
|
|
237 that file. Your ftp must be able to use the <.netrc> file on its own, however.
|
|
|
238 >
|
|
|
239 vim ftp://[user@]machine[[:#]portnumber]/path
|
|
|
240 <
|
|
|
241 However, ftp will often need to query the user for the userid and password.
|
|
459
|
242 The latter will be done "silently"; ie. asterisks will show up instead of
|
|
7
|
243 the actually-typed-in password. Netrw will retain the userid and password
|
|
|
244 for subsequent read/writes from the most recent transfer so subsequent
|
|
|
245 transfers (read/write) to or from that machine will take place without
|
|
|
246 additional prompting.

290 | sftp://[user@]host/path | sftp://[user@]host/path | sftp |
|
|
|
291 | :Nread sftp://host/path | :Nwrite sftp://host/path | sftp (*1) |
|
|
7
|
292 +=================================+============================+============+
|
|
|
293
|
|
|
294 (*1) For an absolute path use scp://machine//path.
|
|
|
295
|
|
|
296 (*2) if <.netrc> is present, it is assumed that it will
|
|
|
297 work with your ftp client. Otherwise the script will
|
|
9
|
298 prompt for user-id and pasword.
|
|
7
|
299
|
|
9
|
300 (*3) for ftp, "machine" may be machine#port or machine:port
|
|
7
|
301 if a different port is needed than the standard ftp port
|
|
|
302
|
|
|
303 (*4) for http:..., if wget is available it will be used. Otherwise,
|
|
|
304 if fetch is available it will be used.
|
|
|
305
|
|
|
306 Both the :Nread and the :Nwrite ex-commands can accept multiple filenames.
|
|
|
307
|
|
|
308
|
|
|
309 NETRC *netrw-netrc*
|
|
|
310
|
|
|
311 The typical syntax for lines in a <.netrc> file is given as shown below.
|
|
|
312 Ftp under Unix usually support <.netrc>; Windows' ftp usually doesn't.
|
|
|
313 >
|
|
|
314 machine {full machine name} login {user-id} password "{password}"
|
|
|
315 default login {user-id} password "{password}"
|
|
|
316
|
|
|
317 Your ftp client must handle the use of <.netrc> on its own, but if the
|
|
|
318 <.netrc> file exists, an ftp transfer will not ask for the user-id or
|
|
|
319 password.
|
|
|
320
|
|
|
321 Note:
|
|
|
322 Since this file contains passwords, make very sure nobody else can
|
|
|
323 read this file! Most programs will refuse to use a .netrc that is
|
|
|
324 readable for others. Don't forget that the system administrator can
|
|
|
325 still read the file!
|
|
|
326
|
|
|
327
|
|
|
328 PASSWORD *netrw-passwd*
|
|
|
329
|
|
|
330 The script attempts to get passwords for ftp invisibly using |inputsecret()|,
|
|
|
331 a built-in Vim function. See |netrw-uidpass| for how to change the password
|
|
|
332 after one has set it.
|
|
|
333
|
|
559
|
334 Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a way for netrw to feed a password to
|
|
|
335 scp. Thus every transfer via scp will require re-entry of the password.
|
|
|
336 However, |netrw-listhack| can help with this problem.

|
|
|
340 3. Activation *netrw-activate*
|
|
|
341
|
|
|
342 Network-oriented file transfers are available by default whenever
|
|
|
343 |'nocompatible'| mode is enabled. The <netrw.vim> file resides in your
|
|
559
|
344 system's vim-plugin directory and is sourced automatically whenever you bring
|
|
|
345 up vim. I suggest that, at a minimum, you have at least the following in your
|
|
|
346 <.vimrc> customization file: >
|
|
|
347 set nocp
|
|
|
348 if version >= 600
|
|
|
349 filetype plugin indent on
|
|
|
350 endif

|
|
|
354 4. Transparent File Transfer *netrw-transparent*
|
|
|
355
|
|
|
356 Transparent file transfers occur whenever a regular file read or write
|
|
|
357 (invoked via an |:autocmd| for |BufReadCmd| or |BufWriteCmd| events) is made.
|
|
559
|
358 Thus one may use files across networks just as simply as if they were local. >

365 such as netrw.

368 5. Ex Commands *netrw-ex*
|
|
|
369
|
|
|
370 The usual read/write commands are supported. There are also a couple of
|
|
|
371 additional commands available.
|
|
|
372
|
|
|
373 :[range]Nw Write the specified lines to the current
|
|
|
374 file as specified in b:netrw_lastfile.
|
|
|
375
|
|
|
376 :[range]Nw {netfile} [{netfile}]...
|
|
|
377 Write the specified lines to the {netfile}.
|
|
|
378
|
|
559
|
379 :Nread Read the specified lines into the current
|
|
7
|
380 buffer from the file specified in
|
|
|
381 b:netrw_lastfile.
|
|
|
382
|
|
|
383 :Nread {netfile} {netfile}...
|
|
|
384 Read the {netfile} after the current line.
|
|
|
385
|
|
534
|
386 *netrw-uidpass*
|
|
7
|
387 :call NetUserPass()
|
|
|
388 If b:netrw_uid and b:netrw_passwd don't exist,
|
|
|
389 this function query the user for them.
|
|
|
390
|
|
|
391 :call NetUserPass("userid")
|
|
|
392 This call will set the b:netrw_uid and, if
|
|
|
393 the password doesn't exist, will query the user for it.
|
|
|
394
|
|
|
395 :call NetUserPass("userid","passwd")
|
|
|
396 This call will set both the b:netrw_uid and b:netrw_passwd.
|
|
|
397 The user-id and password are used by ftp transfers. One may
|
|
|
398 effectively remove the user-id and password by using ""
|
|
|
399 strings.
|
|
|
400
|
|
482
|
401 :NetrwSettings This command is desribed in |netrw-settings| -- used to
|
|
|
402 display netrw settings and change netrw behavior

|
|
7
|
407
|
|
|
408 The script <netrw.vim> uses several variables which can affect <netrw.vim>'s
|
|
|
409 behavior. These variables typically may be set in the user's <.vimrc> file:

559
|
491 The first two options both help with certain ftp's that give trouble
|
|
|
492 otherwise. In order to best understand how to use these options if ftp is
|
|
|
493 giving you troubles, a bit of discussion follows on how netrw does ftp reads.
|
|
7
|
494
|
|
559
|
495 The g:netrw_..._cmd variables specify the external program to use handle the
|
|
|
496 associated protocol (rcp, ftp, etc), plus any options.
|
|
7
|
497
|
|
9
|
498 The g:netrw_list_cmd's HOSTNAME entry will be changed via substitution with
|
|
|
499 whatever the current request is for a hostname.
|
|
|
500
|
|
|
501 For ftp, netrw typically builds up lines of one of the following formats in a
|
|
7
|
502 temporary file:
|
|
|
503 >
|
|
|
504 IF g:netrw_ftp !exists or is not 1 IF g:netrw_ftp exists and is 1
|
|
|
505 ---------------------------------- ------------------------------
|
|
9
|
506 <
|
|
|
507 open machine [port] open machine [port]
|
|
|
508 user userid password userid password
|
|
|
509 [g:netrw_ftpmode] password
|
|
|
510 get filename tempfile [g:netrw_ftpmode]
|
|
|
511 get filename tempfile >
|
|
|
512 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
7
|
513 <
|
|
|
514 Netrw then executes the lines above by use of a filter:
|
|
|
515 >
|
|
|
516 :%! {g:netrw_ftp_cmd} -i [-n]
|
|
|
517 <
|
|
|
518
|
|
|
519 where
|
|
|
520 g:netrw_ftp_cmd is usually "ftp",
|
|
|
521 -i tells ftp not to be interactive
|
|
|
522 -n means don't use netrc and is used for Method #3 (ftp w/o <.netrc>)
|
|
|
523
|
|
|
524 If <.netrc> exists it will be used to avoid having to query the user for
|
|
9
|
525 userid and password. The transferred file is put into a temporary file.
|
|
7
|
526 The temporary file is then read into the main editing session window that
|
|
|
527 requested it and the temporary file deleted.
|
|
|
528
|
|
559
|
529 If your ftp doesn't accept the "user" command and immediately just demands a
|
|
|
530 userid, then try putting "let netrw_ftp=1" in your <.vimrc>.
|
|
7
|
531
|
|
12
|
532 *netrw-cadaver*
|
|
|
533 To handle the SSL certificate dialog for untrusted servers, one may pull
|
|
|
534 down the certificate and place it into /usr/ssl/cert.pem. This operation
|
|
|
535 renders the server treatment as "trusted".
|
|
|
536
|
|
459
|
537 *netrw-fixup* *netreadfixup*
|
|
7
|
538 If your ftp for whatever reason generates unwanted lines (such as AUTH
|
|
|
539 messages) you may write a NetReadFixup(tmpfile) function:
|
|
|
540 >
|
|
|
541 function! NetReadFixup(method,line1,line2)
|
|
|
542 " a:line1: first new line in current file
|
|
|
543 " a:line2: last new line in current file
|
|
|
544 if a:method == 1 "rcp
|
|
|
545 elseif a:method == 2 "ftp + <.netrc>
|
|
|
546 elseif a:method == 3 "ftp + machine,uid,password,filename
|
|
|
547 elseif a:method == 4 "scp
|
|
|
548 elseif a:method == 5 "http/wget
|
|
|
549 elseif a:method == 6 "dav/cadaver
|
|
|
550 elseif a:method == 7 "rsync
|
|
|
551 elseif a:method == 8 "fetch
|
|
|
552 elseif a:method == 9 "sftp
|
|
9
|
553 else " complain
|
|
7
|
554 endif
|
|
|
555 endfunction
|
|
|
556 >
|
|
559
|
557 The NetReadFixup() function will be called if it exists and thus allows you to
|
|
|
558 customize your reading process. As a further example, <netrw.vim> contains
|
|
|
559 just such a function to handle Windows 95 ftp. For whatever reason, Windows
|
|
|
560 95's ftp dumps four blank lines at the end of a transfer, and so it is
|
|
|
561 desirable to automate their removal. Here's some code taken from <netrw.vim>
|
|
|
562 itself:
|
|
7
|
563 >
|
|
|
564 if has("win95") && g:netrw_win95ftp
|
|
9
|
565 fun! NetReadFixup(method, line1, line2)
|
|
7
|
566 if method == 3 " ftp (no <.netrc>)
|
|

|
567 let fourblanklines= line2 - 3

|
568 silent fourblanklines.",".line2."g/^\s*/d"

744 INTRODUCTION TO DIRECTORY BROWSING *netrw-browse-intro*
|
|
12
|
745
|
|
22
|
746 Netrw supports the browsing of directories on the local system and on remote
|
|
559
|
747 hosts, including listing files and directories, entering directories, editing
|
|
22
|
748 files therein, deleting files/directories, making new directories, and moving
|
|
|
749 (renaming) files and directories. The Netrw browser generally implements the
|
|
|
750 previous explorer maps and commands for remote directories, although details
|
|
|
751 (such as pertinent global variable names) necessarily differ.
|
|
|
752
|
|
|
753 The Netrw remote file and directory browser handles two protocols: ssh and
|
|
|
754 ftp. The protocol in the url, if it is ftp, will cause netrw to use ftp
|
|
|
755 in its remote browsing. Any other protocol will be used for file transfers,
|
|
|
756 but otherwise the ssh protocol will be used to do remote directory browsing.
|
|
9
|
757
|
|
559
|
758 To use Netrw's remote directory browser, simply attempt to read a "file" with a
|
|
11
|
759 trailing slash and it will be interpreted as a request to list a directory:
|
|
9
|
760
|
|
|
761 vim [protocol]://[user@]hostname/path/
|
|
|
762
|
|
559
|
763 For local directories, the trailing slash is not required.
|
|
|
764
|
|
|
765 If you'd like to avoid entering the password in for remote directory listings
|
|
|
766 with ssh or scp, see |netrw-listhack|.

|
|
|
774 :Hexplore[!] [dir]... Horizontal Split & Explore *:Hexplore*
|
|
|
775 :Vexplore[!] [dir]... Vertical Split & Explore *:Vexplore*
|
|
|
776
|
|
|
777 Used with :Explore **/pattern :
|
|
|
778 :Nexplore............. go to next matching file *:Nexplore*
|
|
|
779 :Pexplore............. go to previous matching file *:Pexplore*
|
|
459
|
780
|
|
477
|
781 :Explore will open the local-directory browser on the current file's
|
|
|
782 directory (or on directory [dir] if specified). The window will be
|
|
|
783 split only if the file has been modified, otherwise the browsing
|
|
|
784 window will take over that window. Normally the splitting is taken
|
|
|
785 horizontally.
|
|
|
786 :Explore! is like :Explore, but will use vertical splitting.
|
|
|
787 :Sexplore will always split the window before invoking the local-directory
|
|
|
788 browser. As with Explore, the splitting is normally done
|
|
|
789 horizontally.
|
|
|
790 :Sexplore! [dir] is like :Sexplore, but the splitting will be done vertically.
|
|
|
791 :Hexplore [dir] does an :Explore with |:belowright| horizontal splitting.
|
|
|
792 :Hexplore! [dir] does an :Explore with |:aboveleft| horizontal splitting.
|
|
|
793 :Vexplore [dir] does an :Explore with |:leftabove| vertical splitting.
|
|
|
794 :Vexplore! [dir] does an :Explore with |:rightbelow| vertical splitting.
|
|
459
|
795
|
|
477
|
796 By default, these commands use the current file's directory. However, one
|
|
|
797 may explicitly provide a directory (path) to use.
|
|
459
|
798
|
|
466
|
799 (Following needs v7.0 or later) *netrw-starstar*
|
|
559
|
800 When Explore, Sexplore, Hexplore, or Vexplore are used with a **,
|
|
|
801 such as:
|
|
466
|
802 >
|
|
|
803 :Explore **/filename_pattern
|
|
|
804 <
|
|
|
805 netrw will attempt to find a (sub)directory which matches the filename
|
|
|
806 pattern. Internally, it produces a list of files which match the pattern
|
|
|
807 and their paths; to that extent it resembles the Unix operation:
|
|
|
808 >
|
|
|
809 find $(pwd) -name "$1" -exec "echo" "{}" ";" 2> /dev/null
|
|
|
810 <
|
|
|
811 The directory display is updated to show the subdirectory containing a
|
|
|
812 matching file. One may then proceed to the next (or previous) matching files'
|
|
|
813 directories by using Nexplore or Pexplore, respectively. If your console or
|
|
|
814 gui produces recognizable shift-up or shift-down sequences, then you'll likely
|
|
559
|
815 find using shift-downarrow and shift-uparrow convenient. They're mapped by
|
|
|
816 netrw:
|
|
464
|
817
|
|
|
818 <s-down> == Nexplore, and
|
|
|
819 <s-up> == Pexplore.
|
|
|
820
|
|
466
|
821 As an example, consider
|
|
|
822 >
|
|
464
|
823 :Explore **/*.c
|
|
|
824 :Nexplore
|
|
|
825 :Nexplore
|
|
|
826 :Pexplore
|
|
|
827 <
|
|
466
|
828 The status line will show, on the right hand side of the status line, a
|
|
|
829 message like "Match 3 of 20".
|
|
|
830
|
|
459
|
831
|
|
22
|
832 REFRESHING THE LISTING *netrw-ctrl-l*
|
|
12
|
833
|
|
22
|
834 To refresh either a local or remote directory listing, press ctrl-l (<c-l>) or
|
|
|
835 hit the <cr> when atop the ./ directory entry in the listing. One may also
|
|
|
836 refresh a local directory by using ":e .".
|
|
12
|
837
|
|
|
838
|
|
|
839 GOING UP *netrw--*
|
|
|
840
|
|
559
|
841 To go up a directory, press "-" or press the <cr> when atop the ../ directory
|
|
12
|
842 entry in the listing.
|
|
|
843
|
|
559
|
844 Netrw will use the command in |g:netrw_list_cmd| to perform the directory
|
|
|
845 listing operation after changing HOSTNAME to the host specified by the
|
|
|
846 user-provided url. By default netrw provides the command as:
|
|
9
|
847
|
|
11
|
848 ssh HOSTNAME ls -FLa
|
|
9
|
849
|
|
22
|
850 where the HOSTNAME becomes the [user@]hostname as requested by the attempt to
|
|
|
851 read. Naturally, the user may override this command with whatever is
|
|
|
852 preferred. The NetList function which implements remote directory browsing
|
|
|
853 expects that directories will be flagged by a trailing slash.
|
|

|
856 BROWSING *netrw-cr*
|
|
12
|
857
|
|
9
|
858 Browsing is simple: move the cursor onto a file or directory of interest.
|
|
11
|
859 Hitting the <cr> (the return key) will select the file or directory.
|
|
|
860 Directories will themselves be listed, and files will be opened using the
|
|
559
|
861 protocol given in the original read request.
|
|
|
862
|
|
|
863 CAVEAT: There are three forms of listing (see |netrw-i|). Netrw assumes
|
|
|
864 that two or more spaces delimit filenames and directory names for the long
|
|
|
865 and wide listing formats. Thus, if your filename or directory name has two
|
|
|
866 or more spaces embedded in it, or any trailing spaces, then you'll need to
|
|
|
867 use the "thin" format to select it.
|
|
519
|
868
|
|
|
869
|
|
|
870 OBTAINING A FILE *netrw-O*
|
|
|
871
|
|
|
872 When browsing a remote directory, one may obtain a file under the cursor (ie.
|
|
|
873 get a copy on your local machine, but not edit it) by pressing the O key.
|
|
|
874 Only ftp and scp are supported for this operation (but since these two are
|
|
559
|
875 available for browsing, that shouldn't be a problem). The status bar
|
|
|
876 will then show, on its right hand side, a message like "Obtaining filename".
|
|
|
877 The statusline will be restored after the transfer is complete.
|
|
|
878
|
|
|
879 Netrw can also "obtain" a file using the local browser. Netrw's display
|
|
|
880 of a directory is not necessarily the same as Vim's "current directory",
|
|
|
881 unless |g:netrw_keepdir| is set to 0 in the user's <.vimrc>. One may select
|
|
|
882 a file using the local browser (by putting the cursor on it) and pressing
|
|
|
883 "O" will then "obtain" the file; ie. copy it to Vim's current directory.

|
892 THIN, LONG, AND WIDE LISTINGS *netrw-i*
|
|
|
893
|
|
|
894 The "i" map cycles between the thin, long, and wide listing formats.
|
|
12
|
895
|
|
15
|
896 The short listing format gives just the files' and directories' names.
|
|
519
|
897
|
|
15
|
898 The long listing is either based on the "ls" command via ssh for remote
|
|
559
|
899 directories or displays the filename, file size (in bytes), and the time and
|
|
|
900 date of last modification for local directories. With the long listing
|
|
|
901 format, netrw is not able to recognize filenames which have trailing spaces.
|
|
|
902 Use the thin listing format for such files.
|
|
519
|
903
|
|
559
|
904 The wide listing format has a multi-column display of the various files in the
|
|
|
905 netrw current directory, rather like the Unix "ls" presents. In this mode the
|
|
|
906 "b" and "B" maps are not available; instead, use Nb (|netrw-Nb|) and NB
|
|
|
907 (|netrw-NB|). The wide listing format uses two or more contiguous spaces to
|
|
|
908 delineate filenames; when using that format, netrw won't be able to recognize
|
|
|
909 or use filenames which have two or more contiguous spaces embedded in the name
|
|
|
910 or any trailing spaces. The thin listing format will, however, work with such
|

914 MAKING A NEW DIRECTORY *netrw-d*
|
|
15
|
915
|
|
559
|
916 With the "d" map one may make a new directory either remotely (which depends
|
|
|
917 on the global variable g:netrw_mkdir_cmd) or locally (which depends on the
|
|
|
918 global variable g:netrw_local_mkdir). Netrw will issue a request for the new
|
|
|
919 directory's name. A bare <CR> at that point will abort the making of the
|
|
15
|
920 directory. Attempts to make a local directory that already exists (as either
|
|
|
921 a file or a directory) will be detected, reported on, and ignored.
|
|
|
922
|
|
459
|
923
|
|
21
|
924 DELETING FILES OR DIRECTORIES *netrw-delete* *netrw-D*
|
|
11
|
925
|
|
|
926 Deleting/removing files and directories involves moving the cursor to the
|
|
559
|
927 file/directory to be deleted and pressing "D". Directories must be empty
|
|
|
928 first before they can be successfully removed. If the directory is a softlink
|
|
|
929 to a directory, then netrw will make two requests to remove the directory
|
|
|
930 before succeeding. Netrw will ask for confirmation before doing the
|
|
|
931 removal(s). You may select a range of lines with the "V" command (visual
|
|
|
932 selection), and then pressing "D".
|
|
11
|
933
|
|
12
|
934 The g:netrw_rm_cmd, g:netrw_rmf_cmd, and g:netrw_rmdir_cmd variables are used
|
|
|
935 to control the attempts to remove files and directories. The g:netrw_rm_cmd
|
|
|
936 is used with files, and its default value is:
|
|
11
|
937
|
|
|
938 g:netrw_rm_cmd: ssh HOSTNAME rm
|
|
|
939
|
|
12
|
940 The g:netrw_rmdir_cmd variable is used to support the removal of directories.
|
|
|
941 Its default value is:
|
|
11
|
942
|
|
|
943 g:netrw_rmdir_cmd: ssh HOSTNAME rmdir
|
|
|
944
|
|
|
945 If removing a directory fails with g:netrw_rmdir_cmd, netrw then will attempt
|
|
12
|
946 to remove it again using the g:netrw_rmf_cmd variable. Its default value is:
|
|
11
|
947
|
|
|
948 g:netrw_rmf_cmd: ssh HOSTNAME rm -f
|
|
|
949
|
|

|
951 RENAMING FILES OR DIRECTORIES *netrw-move* *netrw-rename* *netrw-R*
|
|
11
|
952
|
|
|
953 Renaming/moving files and directories involves moving the cursor to the
|
|
|
954 file/directory to be moved (renamed) and pressing "R". You will then be
|
|
|
955 queried for where you want the file/directory to be moved. You may select a
|
|
|
956 range of lines with the "V" command (visual selection), and then pressing "R".
|
|
|
957
|
|
12
|
958 The g:netrw_rename_cmd variable is used to implement renaming. By default its
|
|
11
|
959 value is:
|
|
|
960
|
|
|
961 ssh HOSTNAME mv
|
|
|
962
|
|
21
|
963 One may rename a block of files and directories by selecting them with
|
|
|
964 the V (|linewise-visual|).
|
|

|
965
|
|

|
967 HIDING FILES OR DIRECTORIES *netrw-a*
|
|
12
|
968
|
|
559
|
969 Netrw's browsing facility allows one to use the hiding list in one of three
|
|
|
970 ways: ignore it, hide files which match, and show only those files which
|
|
|
971 match. The "a" map allows the user to cycle about these three ways.
|
|
459
|
972
|
|
559
|
973 The g:netrw_list_hide variable holds a comma delimited list of patterns (ex.
|
|
|
974 \.obj) which specify the hiding list. (also see |netrw-h|) To set the hiding
|
|
|
975 list, use the <c-h> map. As an example, to hide files which begin with a ".",
|
|
|
976 one may use the <c-h> map to set the hiding list to '^\..*' (or one may put
|
|
|
977 let g:netrw_list_hide= '^\..*' in one's <.vimrc>). One may then use the "a"
|
|
|
978 key to show all files, hide matching files, or to show only the matching
|
|
|
979 files.
|
|

|
982 EDIT FILE OR DIRECTORY HIDING LIST *netrw-h* *netrw-edithide*
|
|
15
|
983
|
|
22
|
984 The "<ctrl-h>" map brings up a requestor allowing the user to change the
|
|
21
|
985 file/directory hiding list. The hiding list consists of one or more patterns
|
|
|
986 delimited by commas. Files and/or directories satisfying these patterns will
|
|
559
|
987 either be hidden (ie. not shown) or be the only ones displayed (see
|
|
|
988 |netrw-a|).

991 BROWSING WITH A HORIZONTALLY SPLIT WINDOW *netrw-o* *netrw-horiz*
|
|
12
|
992
|
|
21
|
993 Normally one enters a file or directory using the <cr>. However, the "o" map
|
|
|
994 allows one to open a new window to hold the new directory listing or file. A
|
|
24
|
995 horizontal split is used. (for vertical splitting, see |netrw-v|)
|
|
|
996
|
|
559
|
997 Normally, the o key splits the window horizontally with the new window and
|
|
|
998 cursor at the top. To change to splitting the window horizontally with the
|
|
|
999 new window and cursor at the bottom, have
|
|
24
|
1000
|
|
|
1001 let g:netrw_alto = 1
|
|
|
1002
|
|
|
1003 in your <.vimrc>.

1006 PREVIEW WINDOW *netrw-p* *netrw-preview*
|
|
24
|
1007
|
|
559
|
1008 One may use a preview window (currently only for local browsing) by using the
|
|
|
1009 "p" key when the cursor is atop the desired filename to be previewed.

1012 SELECTING SORTING STYLE *netrw-s* *netrw-sort*
|
|
12
|
1013
|
|
559
|
1014 One may select the sorting style by name, time, or (file) size. The "s" map
|
|
|
1015 allows one to circulate amongst the three choices; the directory listing will
|
|
|
1016 automatically be refreshed to reflect the selected style.
|
|
12
|
1017
|
|
|
1018
|
|
459
|
1019 EDITING THE SORTING SEQUENCE *netrw-S* *netrw-sortsequence*
|
|
22
|
1020
|
|
559
|
1021 When "Sorted by" is name, one may specify priority via the sorting sequence
|
|
|
1022 (g:netrw_sort_sequence). The sorting sequence typically prioritizes the
|
|
|
1023 name-listing by suffix, although any pattern will do. Patterns are delimited
|
|
|
1024 by commas. The default sorting sequence is:
|
|
22
|
1025 >
|
|
477
|
1026 [\/]$,*,\.bak$,\.o$,\.h$,\.info$,\.swp$,\.obj$
|
|
22
|
1027 <
|
|
559
|
1028 The lone * is where all filenames not covered by one of the other patterns
|
|
|
1029 will end up. One may change the sorting sequence by modifying the
|
|
|
1030 g:netrw_sort_sequence variable (either manually or in your <.vimrc>) or by
|
|
|
1031 using the "S" map.
|
|
22
|
1032
|
|
|
1033
|
|
459
|
1034 REVERSING SORTING ORDER *netrw-r* *netrw-reverse*
|
|
12
|
1035
|
|
|
1036 One may toggle between normal and reverse sorting order by pressing the
|
|
|
1037 "r" key.
|
|
|
1038
|
|
|
1039
|
|
459
|
1040 CHANGING TO A PREDECESSOR DIRECTORY *netrw-u* *netrw-updir*
|
|
36
|
1041
|
|
|
1042 Every time you change to a new directory (new for the current session),
|
|
|
1043 netrw will save the directory in a recently-visited directory history
|
|
|
1044 list (unless g:netrw_dirhistmax is zero; by default, its ten). With the
|
|
|
1045 "u" map, one can change to an earlier directory (predecessor). To do
|
|
|
1046 the opposite, see |netrw-U|.
|
|
|
1047
|
|
|
1048
|
|
459
|
1049 CHANGING TO A SUCCESSOR DIRECTORY *netrw-U* *netrw-downdir*
|
|
36
|
1050
|
|
|
1051 With the "U" map, one can change to a later directory (successor).
|
|
|
1052 This map is the opposite of the "u" map. (see |netrw-u|) Use the
|
|
|
1053 q map to list both the bookmarks and history. (see |netrw-q|)
|
|
|
1054
|
|
|
1055
|
|
12
|
1056 BROWSING WITH A VERTICALLY SPLIT WINDOW *netrw-v*
|
|
|
1057
|
|
559
|
1058 Normally one enters a file or directory using the <cr>. However, the "v" map
|
|
|
1059 allows one to open a new window to hold the new directory listing or file. A
|
|
|
1060 vertical split is used. (for horizontal splitting, see |netrw-o|)
|
|
24
|
1061
|
|
559
|
1062 Normally, the v key splits the window vertically with the new window and
|
|
|
1063 cursor at the left. To change to splitting the window vertically with the new
|
|
|
1064 window and cursor at the right, have
|
|
24
|
1065
|
|
|
1066 let g:netrw_altv = 1
|
|
|
1067
|
|
|
1068 in your <.vimrc>.

1071 CUSTOMIZING BROWSING WITH A USER FUNCTION *netrw-x* *netrw-handler*
|
|
12
|
1072
|
|
|
1073 One may "enter" a file with a special handler, thereby firing up a browser or
|
|
482
|
1074 other application, for example, on a file by hitting the "x" key. The special
|
|
|
1075 handler varies:
|
|
12
|
1076
|
|
482
|
1077 * for Windows 32 or 64, the url and FileProtocolHandler dlls are used.
|
|
|
1078 * for KDE (with kfmclient): kfmclient is used.
|
|
|
1079 * for Gnome (with gnome-open): gnome-open is used.
|
|
559
|
1080 * otherwise the netrwFileHandler plugin is used.
|
|
482
|
1081
|
|
|
1082 The file's suffix is used by these various approaches to determine an
|
|
559
|
1083 appropriate application to use to "handle" these files. Such things as
|
|
|
1084 OpenOffice (*.sfx), visualization (*.jpg, *.gif, etc), and PostScript (*.ps,
|
|
|
1085 *.eps) can be handled.
|
|
482
|
1086
|
|
559
|
1087 The netrwFileHandler applies a user-defined function to a file, based on its
|
|
12
|
1088 extension. Of course, the handler function must exist for it to be called!
|
|
|
1089 >
|
|
|
1090 Ex. mypgm.html x ->
|
|
559
|
1091 netrwFileHandler_html("scp://user@host/some/path/mypgm.html")
|
|
12
|
1092 <
|
|
559
|
1093 See the <plugin/netrwFileHandlers.vim> for an example of how to handle an html
|
|
12
|
1094 file with mozilla.
|
|
|
1095
|
|
559
|
1096 One may write custom netrwFileHandlers; please look at the
|
|
|
1097 plugin/netrwFileHandlers.vim script for examples. If its likely to be
|
|
482
|
1098 generally useful, please feel free to forward a copy to me for future
|
|
|
1099 inclusion in the distribution.

1102 MAKING THE BROWSING DIRECTORY THE CURRENT DIRECTORY *netrw-c* *netrw-curdir*
|
|
22
|
1103
|
|
26
|
1104 By default, g:netrw_keepdir is 1. This setting means that the current
|
|
|
1105 directory will not track the browsing directory. However, setting
|
|
|
1106 g:netrw_keepdir to 0 (say, in your <.vimrc>) will tell netrw to have the
|
|
|
1107 currently browsed directory be the current directory.
|
|
|
1108
|
|
|
1109 With the default setting for g:netrw_keepdir, in order to make the two
|
|
559
|
1110 directories the same, use the "c" map (just type c). That map will set the
|
|
|
1111 current directory to the current browsing directory.

|
|
519
|
1115 *netrw-Nb*
|
|
464
|
1116 One may easily "bookmark" a directory by using >
|
|
22
|
1117
|
|
|
1118 {cnt}b
|
|
464
|
1119 <
|
|
26
|
1120 Any count may be used. One may use viminfo's "!" option to retain bookmarks
|
|
36
|
1121 between vim sessions. See |netrw-B| for how to return to a bookmark and
|
|
|
1122 |netrw-q| for how to list them.
|
|
22
|
1123
|
|
519
|
1124 When wide listing is in use (see |netrw-i|), then the b map is not available;
|
|
|
1125 instead, use {cnt}Nb.

|
|
|
1131
|
|
|
1132 {cnt}B
|
|
|
1133
|
|
559
|
1134 Any count may be used to reference any of the bookmarks. See |netrw-b| on
|
|

1135 how to bookmark a directory and |netrw-q| on how to list bookmarks.
|
|
519
|
1136
|
|
|
1137 When wide listing is in use (see |netrw-i|), then the B map is not available;

559
|
1165 settings. You may change any of their values; when you save the file, the
|

1166 settings therein will be used. One may also press "?" on any of the lines for
|
|
|
1167 help on what each of the variables do.

1171 8. Problems and Fixes *netrw-problems*
|
|
|
1172
|
|
|
1173 (This section is likely to grow as I get feedback)
|
|
|
1174 (also see |netrw-debug|)
|
|
477
|
1175 *netrw-p1*
|
|
24
|
1176 P1. I use windows 95, and my ftp dumps four blank lines at the
|
|
|
1177 end of every read.
|
|
|
1178
|
|
|
1179 See |netrw-fixup|, and put the following into your
|
|
|
1180 <.vimrc> file:
|
|
|
1181
|
|
|
1182 let g:netrw_win95ftp= 1
|
|
466
|
1183
|
|
477
|
1184 *netrw-p2*
|
|
24
|
1185 P2. I use windows, and my network browsing with ftp doesn't sort by
|
|
|
1186 time or size
|
|
|
1187
|
|
|
1188 Windows' ftp has a minimal support for ls (ie. it doesn't
|
|
|
1189 accept sorting options). It doesn't support the -F which
|
|
|
1190 gives an explanatory character (ABC/ for "ABC is a directory").
|
|
|
1191 Netrw uses dir to get its short and long listings. If you
|
|
|
1192 think your ftp does support a full-up ls, put the following
|
|
|
1193 into your <.vimrc>:
|
|
|
1194
|
|
|
1195 let g:netrw_ftp_list_cmd= "ls -lF"
|
|
|
1196
|
|
|
1197 Alternatively, if you have cygwin on your Windows box, put
|
|
|
1198 into your <.vimrc>:
|
|
|
1199
|
|
|
1200 let g:netrw_cygwin= 1
|
|
|
1201
|
|
477
|
1202 *netrw-p3*
|
|
24
|
1203 P3. I tried rcp://user@host/ (or protocol other than ftp) and netrw
|
|
|
1204 used ssh! That wasn't what I asked for...
|
|
|
1205

1206 Netrw has two methods for browsing remote directories: ssh
|
|
|
1207 and ftp. Unless you specify ftp specifically, ssh is used.
|
|
|
1208 When it comes time to do download a file (not just a directory
|
|
|
1209 listing), netrw will use the given protocol to do so.

|
1210

|
1211 *netrw-p4*
|
|
24
|
1212 P4. I would like long listings to be the default.
|
|
|
1213
|
|
26
|
1214 let g:netrw_longlist=1
|
|
|
1215
|
|
|
1216 Check out |netrw-browse-var| for more customizations that
|
|
|
1217 you can set.
|
|
24
|
1218
|
|
477
|
1219 *netrw-p5*
|
|
24
|
1220 P5. My times come up oddly in local browsing
|
|
|
1221
|
|
|
1222 Does your system's strftime() accept the "%c" to yield dates
|
|
|
1223 such as "Sun Apr 27 11:49:23 1997"? If not, do a "man strftime"
|
|
|
1224 and find out what option should be used. Then put it into
|
|
|
1225 your <.vimrc>:
|
|
|
1226 let g:netrw_timefmt= "%X" (where X is the option)
|
|
|
1227
|
|
477
|
1228 *netrw-p6*
|
|
26
|
1229 P6. I want my current directory to track my browsing.
|
|
|
1230 How do I do that?
|
|
24
|
1231
|
|
26
|
1232 let g:netrw_keepdir= 0

1236 9. Debugging *netrw-debug*
|
|
7
|
1237
|
|
|
1238 The <netrw.vim> script is typically available as:
|
|
477
|
1239 >
|
|
7
|
1240 /usr/local/share/vim/vim6x/plugin/netrw.vim
|
|
477
|
1241 < -or- >
|
|
|
1242 /usr/local/share/vim/vim7x/plugin/netrw.vim
|
|
|
1243 <
|
|
7
|
1244 which is loaded automatically at startup (assuming :set nocp).
|
|
|
1245
|
|
|
1246 1. Get the <Decho.vim> script, available as:
|
|
|
1247
|
|
534
|
1248 http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#vimlinks_scripts
|
|
|
1249 as "Decho, a vimL debugging aid"
|
|
7
|
1250 or
|
|
534
|
1251 http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=120
|
|
7
|
1252
|
|
22
|
1253 and put it into your local plugin directory.
|
|
466
|
1254
|
|
22
|
1255 2. <Decho.vim> itself needs the <cecutil.vim> script, so you'll need
|
|
|
1256 to put it into your .vim/plugin, too. You may obtain it from:
|
|
7
|
1257
|
|
22
|
1258 http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#VimFuncs
|
|
|
1259 as "DrC's Utilities"
|
|
7
|
1260
|
|
22
|
1261 3. Edit the <netrw.vim> file by typing:
|
|
|
1262
|
|
|
1263 vim netrw.vim
|
|
7
|
1264 :DechoOn
|
|
22
|
1265 :wq
|
|
7
|
1266
|
|
22
|
1267 To restore to normal non-debugging behavior, edit <netrw.vim>
|
|
|
1268 by typing
|
|
7
|
1269
|
|
22
|
1270 vim netrw.vim
|
|
|
1271 :DechoOff
|
|
|
1272 :wq
|
|
|
1273
|
|
|
1274 This command, provided by <Decho.vim>, will comment out all
|
|
|
1275 Decho-debugging statements (Dfunc(), Dret(), Decho(), Dredir()).
|
|
|
1276
|
|
|
1277 4. Then bring up vim and attempt a transfer. A set of messages
|
|
7
|
1278 should appear concerning the steps that <netrw.vim> took in
|
|
|
1279 attempting to read/write your file over the network. Please
|
|
|
1280 send that information to <netrw.vim>'s maintainer,

1285 10. History *netrw-history*
|
|
7
|
1286
|
|
559
|
1287 v75: * file://... now conforms to RFC2396 (thanks to S. Zacchiroli)
|
|
|
1288 * if the binary option is set, then NetWrite() will only write
|
|
|
1289 the whole file (line numbers don't make sense with this).
|
|
|
1290 Supports writing of tar and zip files.
|
|
|
1291 v74: * bugfix (vim, then :Explore) now works
|
|
|
1292 * ctrl-L keeps cursor at same screen location (both local and
|
|
|
1293 remote browsing)
|
|
|
1294 * netrw now can read remote zip and tar files
|
|
|
1295 * Obtain now uses WinXP ftp+.netrc successfully
|
|
|
1296 v73: * bugfix -- scp://host/path/file was getting named incorrectly
|
|
|
1297 * netrw detects use of earlier-than-7.0 version of vim and issues
|
|
|
1298 a pertinent error message.
|
|
|
1299 * netrwSettings.vim is now uses autoloading. Only
|
|
|
1300 <netrwPlugin.vim> is needed as a pure plugin
|
|
|
1301 (ie. always loaded).
|
|
|
1302 v72: * bugfix -- formerly, one could prevent the loading of netrw
|
|
|
1303 by "let g:loaded_netrw=1"; when autoloading became supported,
|
|
|
1304 this feature was lost. It is now restored.
|
|
|
1305 v71: * bugfix -- made some "set nomodifiable"s into setlocal variants
|
|
|
1306 (allows :e somenewfile to be modifiable as usual)
|
|
|
1307 * NetrwSettings calls a netrw function, thereby assuring that
|
|
|
1308 netrw has loaded. However, if netrw does not load for whatever
|
|
|
1309 reason, then NetrwSettings will now issue a warning message.
|
|
|
1310 * For what reason I don't recall, when wget and fetch are both
|
|
|
1311 not present, and an attempt to read a http://... url is made,
|
|
|
1312 netrw exited. It now only returns.
|
|
|
1313 * When ch=1, on the second and subsequent uses of browsing Netrw
|
|
|
1314 would issue a blank line to clear the echo'd messages. This
|
|
|
1315 caused an annoying "Hit-Enter" prompt; now a blank line message
|
|
|
1316 is echo'd only if &ch>1.
|
|
|
1317 v70: * when using |netrw-O|, the "Obtaining filename" message is now
|
|
|
1318 shown using |hl-User9|. If User9 has not been defined, netrw
|
|
|
1319 will define it.
|
|
|
1320 v69: * Bugfix: win95/98 machines were experiencing a
|
|
|
1321 "E121: Undefined variable: g:netrw_win95ftp" message
|
|
|
1322 v68: * double-click-leftmouse selects word under mouse
|
|
534
|
1323 v67: * Passwords which contain blanks will now be surrounded by
|
|
|
1324 double-quotes automatically (Yongwei)
|
|
519
|
1325 v66: * Netrw now seems to work with a few more Windows situations
|
|
|
1326 * O now obtains a file: remote browsing file -> local copy,
|
|
|
1327 locally browsing file -> current directory (see :pwd)
|
|
|
1328 * i now cycles between thin, long, and wide listing styles
|
|
|
1329 * NB and Nb are maps that are always available; corresponding
|
|
|
1330 B and b maps are only available when not using wide listing
|
|
|
1331 in order to allow them to be used for motions
|
|
|
1332 v65: * Browser functions now use NetOptionSave/Restore; in particular,
|
|
484
|
1333 netrw now works around the report setting
|
|
519
|
1334 v64: * Bugfix - browsing a "/" directory (Unix) yielded buffers
|
|
484
|
1335 named "[Scratch]" instead of "/"
|
|
|
1336 * Bugfix - remote browsing with ftp was omitting the ./ and ../
|
|
482
|
1337 v63: * netrw now takes advantage of autoload (and requires 7.0)
|
|
|
1338 * Bugfix - using r (to reverse sort) working again
|
|
|
1339 v62: * Bugfix - spaces allowed again in directory names with
|
|
|
1340 g:netrw_keepdir=0. In fact, I've tested netrw (again)
|
|
|
1341 with most ANSI punctuation marks for directory names.
|
|
|
1342 * Bugfix - NetrwSettings gave errors when g:netrw_silent
|
|
|
1343 had not be set.
|
|
480
|
1344 v61: * document upgrade -- netrw variable-based settings all should
|
|
|
1345 have tags. Supports NetrwSettings command.
|
|
|
1346 * several important variables are window-oriented. Netrw has
|
|
|
1347 to transfer these across a window split. See s:BufWinVars()
|
|
|
1348 and s:UseBufWinVars().
|
|
477
|
1349 v60: * when using the i map to switch between long and short listings,
|
|
|
1350 netrw will now keep cursor on same line
|
|
|
1351 * "Match # of #" now uses status line
|
|
|
1352 * :Explore **/*.c will now work from a non-netrw-browser window
|
|
|
1353 * :Explore **/patterns can now be run in separate browser windows
|
|
|
1354 * active banner (hit <cr> will cause various things to happen)
|
|
466
|
1355 v59: * bugfix -- another keepalt work-around installed (for vim6.3)
|
|
|
1356 * "Match # of #" for Explore **/pattern matches
|
|
464
|
1357 v58: * Explore and relatives can now handle **/somefilepattern (v7)
|
|
|
1358 * Nexplore and Pexplore introduced (v7). shift-down and shift-up
|
|
|
1359 cursor keys will invoke Nexplore and Pexplore, respectively.
|
|
|
1360 * bug fixed with o and v
|
|
|
1361 * autochdir only worked around for vim when it has been
|
|
|
1362 compiled with either |+netbeans_intg| or |+sun_workshop|
|
|
|
1363 * Under Windows, all directories and files were being preceded
|
|
|
1364 with a "/" when local browsing. Fixed.
|
|
|
1365 * When: syntax highlighting is off, laststatus=2, and remote
|
|
|
1366 browsing is used, sometimes the laststatus highlighting
|
|
|
1367 bleeds into the entire display. Work around - do an extra
|
|
|
1368 redraw in that case.
|
|
|
1369 * Bugfix: when g:netrw_keepdir=0, due to re-use of buffers,
|
|
|
1370 netrw didn't change the directory when it should've
|
|
|
1371 * Bugfix: D and R commands work again
|
|
461
|
1372 v57: * Explore and relatives can now handle RO files
|
|
|
1373 * reverse sort restored with vim7's sort command
|
|
|
1374 * g:netrw_keepdir now being used to keep the current directory
|
|
|
1375 unchanged as intended (sense change)
|
|
|
1376 * vim 6.3 still supported
|
|
459
|
1377 v56: * LocalBrowse now saves autochdir setting, unsets it, and
|
|
|
1378 restores it before returning.
|
|
|
1379 * using vim's rename() instead of system + local_rename variable
|
|
461
|
1380 * avoids changing directory when g:netrw_keepdir is false
|
|
459
|
1381 v55: * -bar used with :Explore :Sexplore etc to allow multiple
|
|
|
1382 commands to be separated by |s
|
|
|
1383 * browser listings now use the "nowrap" option
|
|
|
1384 * browser: some unuseful error messages now suppressed
|
|
|
1385 v54: * For backwards compatibility, Explore and Sexplore have been
|
|
|
1386 implemented. In addition, Hexplore and Vexplore commands
|
|
|
1387 are available, too.
|
|
|
1388 * <amatch> used instead of <afile> in the transparency
|
|
|
1389 support (BufReadCmd, FileReadCmd, FileWriteCmd)
|
|
|
1390 * ***netrw*** prepended to various error messages netrw may emit
|
|
|
1391 * g:netrw_port used instead of b:netrw_port for scp
|
|
|
1392 * any leading [:#] is removed from port numbers
|
|
|
1393 v53: * backslashes as well as slashes placed in various patterns
|
|
|
1394 (ex. g:netrw_sort_sequence) to better support Windows
|
|
36
|
1395 v52: * nonumber'ing now set for browsing buffers
|
|
|
1396 * when the hiding list hid all files, error messages ensued. Fixed
|
|
|
1397 * when browsing, swf is set, but directory is not set, when netrw
|
|
|
1398 was attempting to restore options, vim wanted to save a swapfile
|
|
|
1399 to a local directory using an url-style path. Fixed
|
|
|
1400 v51: * cygwin detection now automated (using windows and &shell is bash)
|
|
|
1401 * customizable browser "file" rejection patterns
|
|
|
1402 * directory history
|
|
|
1403 * :[range]w url now supported (ie. netrw has a FileWriteCmd event)
|
|
|
1404 * error messages have a "Press <cr> to continue" to allow them
|
|
|
1405 to be seen
|
|
|
1406 * directory browser displays no longer bother the swapfile
|
|
|
1407 * u/U commands to go up and down the history stack
|
|
|
1408 * history stack may be saved with viminfo with its "!" option
|
|
|
1409 * bugfixes associated with unwanted [No Files] entries
|
|
26
|
1410 v50: * directories now displayed using buftype=nofile; should keep the
|
|
|
1411 directory names as-is
|
|
|
1412 * attempts to remove empty "[No File]" buffers leftover
|
|
|
1413 from :file ..name.. commands
|
|
|
1414 * bugfix: a "caps-lock" editing difficulty left in v49 was fixed
|
|
|
1415 * syntax highlighting for "Showing:" the hiding list included
|
|
|
1416 * bookmarks can now be retained if "!" is in the viminfo option
|
|
36
|
1417 v49: * will use ftp for http://.../ browsing v48:
|
|
|
1418 * One may use ftp to do remote host file browsing
|
|
24
|
1419 * (windows and !cygwin) remote browsing with ftp can now use
|
|
|
1420 the "dir" command internally to provide listings
|
|
|
1421 * g:netrw_keepdir now allows one to keep the initial current
|
|
26
|
1422 directory as the current directory (normally the local file
|
|
|
1423 browser makes the currently viewed directory the current
|
|
|
1424 directory)
|
|
24
|
1425 * g:netrw_alto and g:netrw_altv now support alternate placement
|
|
|
1426 of windows started with o or v
|
|
|
1427 * Nread ? and Nwrite ? now uses echomsg (instead of echo) so
|
|
|
1428 :messages can repeat showing the help
|
|
|
1429 * bugfix: avoids problems with partial matches of directory names
|
|
|
1430 to prior buffers with longer names
|
|
26
|
1431 * one can suppress error messages with g:netrw_quiet ctrl-h used
|
|
|
1432 * instead of <Leader>h for editing hiding list one may edit the
|
|
|
1433 * sorting sequence with the S map now allows confirmation of
|
|
|
1434 * deletion with [y(es) n(o) a(ll) q(uit)] the "x" map now handles
|
|
|
1435 * special file viewing with:
|
|
|
1436 (windows) rundll32 url.dll (gnome) gnome-open (kde)
|
|
|
1437 kfmclient If none of these are on the executable path, then
|
|
559
|
1438 netrwFileHandlers.vim is used.
|
|
24
|
1439 * directory bookmarking during both local and remote browsing
|
|
|
1440 implemented
|
|
|
1441 * one may view all, use the hiding list to suppress, or use the
|
|
26
|
1442 hiding list to show-only remote and local file/directory
|
|
|
1443 listings
|
|
|
1444 * improved unusual file and directory name handling preview
|
|
|
1445 * window support
|
|
36
|
1446 v47: * now handles local directory browsing.
|
|
|
1447 v46: * now handles remote directory browsing
|
|
|
1448 * g:netrw_silent (if 1) will cause all transfers to be silent
|
|
26
|
1449 v45: * made the [user@]hostname:path form a bit more restrictive to
|
|
|
1450 better handle errors in using protocols (e.g. scp:usr@host:file
|
|
|
1451 was being recognized as an rcp request) v44: * changed from
|
|
|
1452 "rsync -a" to just "rsync"
|
|
9
|
1453 * somehow an editing error messed up the test to recognize
|
|
|
1454 use of the fetch method for NetRead.
|
|
|
1455 * more debugging statements included
|
|
26
|
1456 v43: * moved "Explanation" comments to <pi_netrw.txt> help file as
|
|
|
1457 "Network Reference" (|netrw-ref|)
|
|
9
|
1458 * <netrw.vim> now uses Dfunc() Decho() and Dret() for debugging
|
|
|
1459 * removed superfluous NetRestorePosn() calls
|
|
26
|
1460 v42: * now does BufReadPre and BufReadPost events on file:///* and
|
|
|
1461 file://localhost/* v41: * installed file:///* and
|
|
|
1462 file://localhost/* handling v40: * prevents redraw when a
|
|
|
1463 protocol error occurs so that the user may see it v39: * sftp
|
|
|
1464 support v38: * Now uses NetRestorePosn() calls with
|
|
|
1465 Nread/Nwrite commands
|
|
9
|
1466 * Temporary files now removed via bwipe! instead of bwipe
|
|
26
|
1467 (thanks to Dave Roberts) v37: * Claar's modifications which
|
|
|
1468 test if ftp is successful, otherwise give an error message
|
|
9
|
1469 * After a read, the alternate file was pointing to the temp file.
|
|
|
1470 The temp file buffer is now wiped out.
|
|
|
1471 * removed silent from transfer methods so user can see what's
|
|
|
1472 happening
