2. Starting With Netrw *netrw-start* {{{1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netrw makes reading files, writing files, browsing over a network, and
|
||
|
|
local browsing easy! First, make sure that you have plugins enabled, so
|
||
|
|
you'll need to have at least the following in your <.vimrc>:
|
||
|
|
(or see |netrw-activate|) >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
set nocp " 'compatible' is not set
|
||
|
|
filetype plugin on " plugins are enabled
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
(see |'cp'| and |:filetype-plugin-on|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netrw supports "transparent" editing of files on other machines using urls
|
||
|
|
(see |netrw-transparent|). As an example of this, let's assume you have an
|
||
|
|
account on some other machine; if you can use scp, try: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vim scp://hostname/path/to/file
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Want to make ssh/scp easier to use? Check out |netrw-ssh-hack|!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, what if you have ftp, not ssh/scp? That's easy, too; try >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vim ftp://hostname/path/to/file
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Want to make ftp simpler to use? See if your ftp supports a file called
|
||
|
|
<.netrc> -- typically it goes in your home directory, has read/write
|
||
|
|
permissions for only the user to read (ie. not group, world, other, etc),
|
||
|
|
and has lines resembling >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
machine HOSTNAME login USERID password "PASSWORD"
|
||
|
|
machine HOSTNAME login USERID password "PASSWORD"
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
default login USERID password "PASSWORD"
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Windows' ftp doesn't support .netrc; however, one may have in one's .vimrc: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_ftp_cmd= 'c:\Windows\System32\ftp -s:C:\Users\MyUserName\MACHINE'
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Netrw will substitute the host's machine name for "MACHINE" from the url it is
|
||
|
|
attempting to open, and so one may specify >
|
||
|
|
userid
|
||
|
|
password
|
||
|
|
for each site in a separate file: c:\Users\MyUserName\MachineName.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now about browsing -- when you just want to look around before editing a
|
||
|
|
file. For browsing on your current host, just "edit" a directory: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vim .
|
||
|
|
vim /home/userid/path
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
For browsing on a remote host, "edit" a directory (but make sure that
|
||
|
|
the directory name is followed by a "/"): >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vim scp://hostname/
|
||
|
|
vim ftp://hostname/path/to/dir/
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
See |netrw-browse| for more!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are more protocols supported by netrw than just scp and ftp, too: see the
|
||
|
|
next section, |netrw-externapp|, on how to use these external applications with
|
||
|
|
netrw and vim.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PREVENTING LOADING *netrw-noload*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to use plugins, but for some reason don't wish to use netrw, then
|
||
|
|
you need to avoid loading both the plugin and the autoload portions of netrw.
|
||
|
|
You may do so by placing the following two lines in your <.vimrc>: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:let g:loaded_netrw = 1
|
||
|
|
:let g:loaded_netrwPlugin = 1
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
3. Netrw Reference *netrw-ref* {{{1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netrw supports several protocols in addition to scp and ftp as mentioned
|
||
|
|
in |netrw-start|. These include dav, fetch, http,... well, just look
|
||
|
|
at the list in |netrw-externapp|. Each protocol is associated with a
|
||
|
|
variable which holds the default command supporting that protocol.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS AND PROTOCOLS *netrw-externapp* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Protocol Variable Default Value
|
||
|
|
-------- ---------------- -------------
|
||
|
|
dav: *g:netrw_dav_cmd* = "cadaver" if cadaver is executable
|
||
|
|
dav: g:netrw_dav_cmd = "curl -o" elseif curl is available
|
||
|
|
fetch: *g:netrw_fetch_cmd* = "fetch -o" if fetch is available
|
||
|
|
ftp: *g:netrw_ftp_cmd* = "ftp"
|
||
|
|
http: *g:netrw_http_cmd* = "elinks" if elinks is available
|
||
|
|
http: g:netrw_http_cmd = "links" elseif links is available
|
||
|
|
http: g:netrw_http_cmd = "curl" elseif curl is available
|
||
|
|
http: g:netrw_http_cmd = "wget" elseif wget is available
|
||
|
|
http: g:netrw_http_cmd = "fetch" elseif fetch is available
|
||
|
|
rcp: *g:netrw_rcp_cmd* = "rcp"
|
||
|
|
rsync: *g:netrw_rsync_cmd* = "rsync -a"
|
||
|
|
scp: *g:netrw_scp_cmd* = "scp -q"
|
||
|
|
sftp: *g:netrw_sftp_cmd* = "sftp"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_http_xcmd* : the option string for http://... protocols are
|
||
|
|
specified via this variable and may be independently overridden. By
|
||
|
|
default, the option arguments for the http-handling commands are: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
elinks : "-source >"
|
||
|
|
links : "-dump >"
|
||
|
|
curl : "-o"
|
||
|
|
wget : "-q -O"
|
||
|
|
fetch : "-o"
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
For example, if your system has elinks, and you'd rather see the
|
||
|
|
page using an attempt at rendering the text, you may wish to have >
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_http_xcmd= "-dump >"
|
||
|
|
< in your .vimrc.

||
|
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
READING *netrw-read* *netrw-nread* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generally, one may just use the url notation with a normal editing
|
||
|
|
command, such as >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:e ftp://[user@]machine/path
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Netrw also provides the Nread command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:Nread ? give help
|
||
|
|
:Nread "machine:path" uses rcp
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
WRITING *netrw-write* *netrw-nwrite* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One may just use the url notation with a normal file writing
|
||
|
|
command, such as >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:w ftp://[user@]machine/path
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Netrw also provides the Nwrite command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:Nwrite ? give help
|
||
|
|
:Nwrite "machine:path" uses rcp
|

|
|
SOURCING *netrw-source* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One may just use the url notation with the normal file sourcing
|
||
|
|
command, such as >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:so ftp://[user@]machine/path
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Netrw also provides the Nsource command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:Nsource ? give help
|
||
|
|
:Nsource "dav://machine[:port]/path" uses cadaver
|

:Nsource "sftp://[user@]machine/path" uses sftp
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DIRECTORY LISTING *netrw-trailingslash* *netrw-dirlist* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One may browse a directory to get a listing by simply attempting to
|
||
|
|
edit the directory: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:e scp://[user]@hostname/path/
|
||
|
|
:e ftp://[user]@hostname/path/
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
For remote directory listings (ie. those using scp or ftp), that
|
||
|
|
trailing "/" is necessary (the slash tells netrw to treat the argument
|
||
|
|
as a directory to browse instead of as a file to download).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Nread command may also be used to accomplish this (again, that
|
||
|
|
trailing slash is necessary): >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:Nread [protocol]://[user]@hostname/path/
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
*netrw-login* *netrw-password*
|
||
|
|
CHANGING USERID AND PASSWORD *netrw-chgup* *netrw-userpass* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Attempts to use ftp will prompt you for a user-id and a password.
|
||
|
|
These will be saved in global variables |g:netrw_uid| and
|
||
|
|
|s:netrw_passwd|; subsequent use of ftp will re-use those two strings,
|
||
|
|
thereby simplifying use of ftp. However, if you need to use a
|
||
|
|
different user id and/or password, you'll want to call |NetUserPass()|
|
||
|
|
first. To work around the need to enter passwords, check if your ftp
|
||
|
|
supports a <.netrc> file in your home directory. Also see
|
||
|
|
|netrw-passwd| (and if you're using ssh/scp hoping to figure out how
|
||
|
|
to not need to use passwords for scp, look at |netrw-ssh-hack|).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:NetUserPass [uid [password]] -- prompts as needed
|
||
|
|
:call NetUserPass() -- prompts for uid and password
|
||
|
|
:call NetUserPass("uid") -- prompts for password
|
||
|
|
:call NetUserPass("uid","password") -- sets global uid and password
|

|

|
|
|

|
Netrw provides a lot of variables which allow you to customize netrw to your
|
||
|
|
preferences. One way to look at them is via the command :NetrwSettings (see
|
||
|
|
|netrw-settings|) which will display your current netrw settings. Most such
|
||
|
|
settings are described below, in |netrw-browser-options|, and in
|
||
|
|
|netrw-externapp|:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*b:netrw_lastfile* last file Network-read/written retained on a
|
||
|
|
per-buffer basis (supports plain :Nw )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_bufsettings* the settings that netrw buffers have
|
||
|
|
(default) noma nomod nonu nowrap ro nobl
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_chgwin* specifies a window number where file edits will take
|
||
|
|
place. (also see |netrw-C|)
|
||
|
|
(default) not defined
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:Netrw_funcref* specifies a function (or functions) to be called when
|
||
|
|
netrw edits a file. The file is first edited, and
|
||
|
|
then the function reference (|Funcref|) is called.
|
||
|
|
This variable may also hold a |List| of Funcrefs.
|
||
|
|
(default) not defined. (the capital in g:Netrw...
|
||
|
|
is required by its holding a function reference)
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
Example: place in .vimrc; affects all file opening
|
||
|
|
fun! MyFuncRef()
|
||
|
|
endfun
|
||
|
|
let g:Netrw_funcref= function("MyFuncRef")
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_ftp* if it doesn't exist, use default ftp
|
||
|
|
=0 use default ftp (uid password)
|
||
|
|
=1 use alternate ftp method (user uid password)
|
||
|
|
If you're having trouble with ftp, try changing the
|
||
|
|
value of this variable to see if the alternate ftp
|
||
|
|
method works for your setup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_ftp_options* Chosen by default, these options are supposed to turn
|
||
|
|
interactive prompting off and to restrain ftp from
|
||
|
|
attempting auto-login upon initial connection.
|
||
|
|
However, it appears that not all ftp implementations
|
||
|
|
support this (ex. ncftp).
|
||
|
|
="-i -n"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_ftpextracmd* default: doesn't exist
|
||
|
|
If this variable exists, then any string it contains
|
||
|
|
will be placed into the commands set to your ftp
|
||
|
|
client. As an example:
|
||
|
|
="passive"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_ftpmode* ="binary" (default)
|
||
|
|
="ascii"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_ignorenetrc* =0 (default for linux, cygwin)
|
||
|
|
=1 If you have a <.netrc> file but it doesn't work and
|
||
|
|
you want it ignored, then set this variable as
|
||
|
|
shown. (default for Windows + cmd.exe)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_menu* =0 disable netrw's menu
|
||
|
|
=1 (default) netrw's menu enabled
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_nogx* if this variable exists, then the "gx" map will not
|
||
|
|
be available (see |netrw-gx|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_uid* (ftp) user-id, retained on a per-vim-session basis
|
||
|
|
*s:netrw_passwd* (ftp) password, retained on a per-vim-session basis
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_preview* =0 (default) preview window shown in a horizontally
|
||
|
|
split window
|
||
|
|
=1 preview window shown in a vertically split window.
|
||
|
|
Also affects the "previous window" (see |netrw-P|) in
|
||
|
|
the same way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_scpport* = "-P" : option to use to set port for scp
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_sshport* = "-p" : option to use to set port for ssh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_sepchr* =\0xff
|
||
|
|
=\0x01 for enc == euc-jp (and perhaps it should be for
|
||
|
|
others, too, please let me know)
|
||
|
|
Separates priority codes from filenames internally.
|
||
|
|
See |netrw-p12|.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_silent* =0 : transfers done normally
|
||
|
|
=1 : transfers done silently
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_use_errorwindow* =1 : messages from netrw will use a separate one
|
||
|
|
line window. This window provides reliable
|
||
|
|
delivery of messages. (default)
|
||
|
|
=0 : messages from netrw will use echoerr ;
|
||
|
|
messages don't always seem to show up this
|
||
|
|
way, but one doesn't have to quit the window.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_win95ftp* =1 if using Win95, will remove four trailing blank
|
||
|
|
lines that o/s's ftp "provides" on transfers
|
||
|
|
=0 force normal ftp behavior (no trailing line removal)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_cygwin* =1 assume scp under windows is from cygwin. Also
|
||
|
|
permits network browsing to use ls with time and
|
||
|
|
size sorting (default if windows)
|
||
|
|
=0 assume Windows' scp accepts windows-style paths
|
||
|
|
Network browsing uses dir instead of ls
|
||
|
|
This option is ignored if you're using unix
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_use_nt_rcp* =0 don't use the rcp of WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP
|
||
|
|
=1 use WinNT's rcp in binary mode (default)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

PATHS *netrw-path* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Paths to files are generally user-directory relative for most protocols.
|
||
|
|
It is possible that some protocol will make paths relative to some
|
||
|
|
associated directory, however.

where "somefile" is in the "user"'s home directory. If you wish to get a
|
||
|
|
file using root-relative paths, use the full path:

4. Network-Oriented File Transfer *netrw-xfer* {{{1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Network-oriented file transfer under Vim is implemented by a VimL-based script
|
||
|
|
(<netrw.vim>) using plugin techniques. It currently supports both reading and
|
||
|
|
writing across networks using rcp, scp, ftp or ftp+<.netrc>, scp, fetch,
|
||
|
|
dav/cadaver, rsync, or sftp.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http is currently supported read-only via use of wget or fetch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<netrw.vim> is a standard plugin which acts as glue between Vim and the
|
||
|
|
various file transfer programs. It uses autocommand events (BufReadCmd,
|
||
|
|
FileReadCmd, BufWriteCmd) to intercept reads/writes with url-like filenames. >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ex. vim ftp://hostname/path/to/file
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
The characters preceding the colon specify the protocol to use; in the
|
||
|
|
example, it's ftp. The <netrw.vim> script then formulates a command or a
|
||
|
|
series of commands (typically ftp) which it issues to an external program
|
||
|
|
(ftp, scp, etc) which does the actual file transfer/protocol. Files are read
|
||
|
|
from/written to a temporary file (under Unix/Linux, /tmp/...) which the
|
||
|
|
<netrw.vim> script will clean up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, a word about Jan Minář's "FTP User Name and Password Disclosure"; first,
|
||
|
|
ftp is not a secure protocol. User names and passwords are transmitted "in
|
||
|
|
the clear" over the internet; any snooper tool can pick these up; this is not
|
||
|
|
a netrw thing, this is a ftp thing. If you're concerned about this, please
|
||
|
|
try to use scp or sftp instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netrw re-uses the user id and password during the same vim session and so long
|
||
|
|
as the remote hostname remains the same.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Jan seems to be a bit confused about how netrw handles ftp; normally multiple
|
||
|
|
commands are performed in a "ftp session", and he seems to feel that the
|
||
|
|
uid/password should only be retained over one ftp session. However, netrw
|
||
|
|
does every ftp operation in a separate "ftp session"; so remembering the
|
||
|
|
uid/password for just one "ftp session" would be the same as not remembering
|
||
|
|
the uid/password at all. IMHO this would rapidly grow tiresome as one
|
||
|
|
browsed remote directories, for example.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the other hand, thanks go to Jan M. for pointing out the many
|
||
|
|
vulnerabilities that netrw (and vim itself) had had in handling "crafted"
|
||
|
|
filenames. The |shellescape()| and |fnameescape()| functions were written in
|
||
|
|
response by Bram Moolenaar to handle these sort of problems, and netrw has
|
||
|
|
been modified to use them. Still, my advice is, if the "filename" looks like
|
||
|
|
a vim command that you aren't comfortable with having executed, don't open it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*netrw-putty* *netrw-pscp* *netrw-psftp*
|
||
|
|
One may modify any protocol's implementing external application by setting a
|
||
|
|
variable (ex. scp uses the variable g:netrw_scp_cmd, which is defaulted to
|
||
|
|
"scp -q"). As an example, consider using PuTTY: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_scp_cmd = '"c:\Program Files\PuTTY\pscp.exe" -q -batch'
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_sftp_cmd= '"c:\Program Files\PuTTY\psftp.exe"'
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
(note: it has been reported that windows 7 with putty v0.6's "-batch" option
|
||
|
|
doesn't work, so its best to leave it off for that system)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See |netrw-p8| for more about putty, pscp, psftp, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ftp, an old protocol, seems to be blessed by numerous implementations.
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, some implementations are noisy (ie., add junk to the end of the
|
||
|
|
file). Thus, concerned users may decide to write a NetReadFixup() function
|
||
|
|
that will clean up after reading with their ftp. Some Unix systems (ie.,
|
||
|
|
FreeBSD) provide a utility called "fetch" which uses the ftp protocol but is
|
||
|
|
not noisy and more convenient, actually, for <netrw.vim> to use.
|
||
|
|
Consequently, if "fetch" is available (ie. executable), it may be preferable
|
||
|
|
to use it for ftp://... based transfers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For rcp, scp, sftp, and http, one may use network-oriented file transfers
|
||
|
|
transparently; ie.
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
vim rcp://[user@]machine/path
|
||
|
|
vim scp://[user@]machine/path
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
If your ftp supports <.netrc>, then it too can be transparently used
|
||
|
|
if the needed triad of machine name, user id, and password are present in
|
||
|
|
that file. Your ftp must be able to use the <.netrc> file on its own, however.
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
vim ftp://[user@]machine[[:#]portnumber]/path
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Windows provides an ftp (typically c:\Windows\System32\ftp.exe) which uses
|
||
|
|
an option, -s:filename (filename can and probably should be a full path)
|
||
|
|
which contains ftp commands which will be automatically run whenever ftp
|
||
|
|
starts. You may use this feature to enter a user and password for one site: >
|
||
|
|
userid
|
||
|
|
password
|
||
|
|
< *netrw-windows-netrc* *netrw-windows-s*
|
||
|
|
If |g:netrw_ftp_cmd| contains -s:[path/]MACHINE, then (on Windows machines only)
|
||
|
|
netrw will substitute the current machine name requested for ftp connections
|
||
|
|
for MACHINE. Hence one can have multiple machine.ftp files containing login
|
||
|
|
and password for ftp. Example: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_ftp_cmd= 'c:\Windows\System32\ftp -s:C:\Users\Myself\MACHINE'
|
||
|
|
vim ftp://myhost.somewhere.net/
|
||
|
|
will use a file >
|
||
|
|
C:\Users\Myself\myhost.ftp
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Often, ftp will need to query the user for the userid and password.
|
||
|
|
The latter will be done "silently"; ie. asterisks will show up instead of
|
||
|
|
the actually-typed-in password. Netrw will retain the userid and password
|
||
|
|
for subsequent read/writes from the most recent transfer so subsequent
|
||
|
|
transfers (read/write) to or from that machine will take place without
|
||
|
|
additional prompting.

|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NETRC *netrw-netrc*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The <.netrc> file, typically located in your home directory, contains lines
|
||
|
|
therein which map a hostname (machine name) to the user id and password you
|
||
|
|
prefer to use with it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The typical syntax for lines in a <.netrc> file is given as shown below.
|
||
|
|
Ftp under Unix usually supports <.netrc>; ftp under Windows usually doesn't.
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
machine {full machine name} login {user-id} password "{password}"
|
||
|
|
default login {user-id} password "{password}"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your ftp client must handle the use of <.netrc> on its own, but if the
|
||
|
|
<.netrc> file exists, an ftp transfer will not ask for the user-id or
|
||
|
|
password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note:
|
||
|
|
Since this file contains passwords, make very sure nobody else can
|
||
|
|
read this file! Most programs will refuse to use a .netrc that is
|
||
|
|
readable for others. Don't forget that the system administrator can
|
||
|
|
still read the file! Ie. for Linux/Unix: chmod 600 .netrc
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Even though Windows' ftp clients typically do not support .netrc, netrw has
|
||
|
|
a work-around: see |netrw-windows-s|.

|

|
|
The script attempts to get passwords for ftp invisibly using |inputsecret()|,
|
||
|
|
a built-in Vim function. See |netrw-userpass| for how to change the password
|
||
|
|
after one has set it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a way for netrw to feed a password to
|
||
|
|
scp. Thus every transfer via scp will require re-entry of the password.
|
||
|
|
However, |netrw-ssh-hack| can help with this problem.

5. Activation *netrw-activate* {{{1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Network-oriented file transfers are available by default whenever Vim's
|
||
|
|
|'nocompatible'| mode is enabled. Netrw's script files reside in your
|
||
|
|
system's plugin, autoload, and syntax directories; just the
|
||
|
|
plugin/netrwPlugin.vim script is sourced automatically whenever you bring up
|
||
|
|
vim. The main script in autoload/netrw.vim is only loaded when you actually
|
||
|
|
use netrw. I suggest that, at a minimum, you have at least the following in
|
||
|
|
your <.vimrc> customization file: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
set nocp
|
||
|
|
if version >= 600
|
||
|
|
filetype plugin indent on
|
||
|
|
endif

6. Transparent Remote File Editing *netrw-transparent* {{{1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Transparent file transfers occur whenever a regular file read or write
|
||
|
|
(invoked via an |:autocmd| for |BufReadCmd|, |BufWriteCmd|, or |SourceCmd|
|
||
|
|
events) is made. Thus one may read, write, or source files across networks
|
||
|
|
just as easily as if they were local files! >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vim ftp://[user@]machine/path
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
:wq
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See |netrw-activate| for more on how to encourage your vim to use plugins
|
||
|
|
such as netrw.

7. Ex Commands *netrw-ex* {{{1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The usual read/write commands are supported. There are also a few
|
||
|
|
additional commands available. Often you won't need to use Nwrite or
|
||
|
|
Nread as shown in |netrw-transparent| (ie. simply use >
|
||
|
|
:e url
|
||
|
|
:r url
|
||
|
|
:w url
|
||
|
|
instead, as appropriate) -- see |netrw-urls|. In the explanations
|
||
|
|
below, a {netfile} is an url to a remote file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*:Nwrite* *:Nw*
|
||
|
|
:[range]Nw[rite] Write the specified lines to the current
|
||
|
|
file as specified in b:netrw_lastfile.
|
||
|
|
(related: |netrw-nwrite|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:[range]Nw[rite] {netfile} [{netfile}]...
|
||
|
|
Write the specified lines to the {netfile}.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*:Nread* *:Nr*
|
||
|
|
:Nr[ead] Read the lines from the file specified in b:netrw_lastfile
|
||
|
|
into the current buffer. (related: |netrw-nread|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:Nr[ead] {netfile} {netfile}...
|
||
|
|
Read the {netfile} after the current line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*:Nsource* *:Ns*
|
||
|
|
:Ns[ource] {netfile}
|
||
|
|
Source the {netfile}.
|
||
|
|
To start up vim using a remote .vimrc, one may use
|
||
|
|
the following (all on one line) (tnx to Antoine Mechelynck) >
|
||
|
|
vim -u NORC -N
|
||
|
|
--cmd "runtime plugin/netrwPlugin.vim"
|

|
|
< (related: |netrw-source|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:call NetUserPass() *NetUserPass()*
|
||
|
|
If g:netrw_uid and s:netrw_passwd don't exist,
|
||
|
|
this function will query the user for them.
|
||
|
|
(related: |netrw-userpass|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:call NetUserPass("userid")
|
||
|
|
This call will set the g:netrw_uid and, if
|
||
|
|
the password doesn't exist, will query the user for it.
|
||
|
|
(related: |netrw-userpass|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:call NetUserPass("userid","passwd")
|
||
|
|
This call will set both the g:netrw_uid and s:netrw_passwd.
|
||
|
|
The user-id and password are used by ftp transfers. One may
|
||
|
|
effectively remove the user-id and password by using empty
|
||
|
|
strings (ie. "").

||
|

The g:netrw_..._cmd options (|g:netrw_ftp_cmd| and |g:netrw_sftp_cmd|)
|
||
|
|
specify the external program to use handle the ftp protocol. They may
|
||
|
|
include command line options (such as -p for passive mode). Example: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_ftp_cmd= "ftp -p"
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Browsing is supported by using the |g:netrw_list_cmd|; the substring
|
||
|
|
"HOSTNAME" will be changed via substitution with whatever the current request
|
||
|
|
is for a hostname.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Two options (|g:netrw_ftp| and |netrw-fixup|) both help with certain ftp's
|
||
|
|
that give trouble . In order to best understand how to use these options if
|
||
|
|
ftp is giving you troubles, a bit of discussion is provided on how netrw does
|
||
|
|
ftp reads.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For ftp, netrw typically builds up lines of one of the following formats in a
|
||
|
|
temporary file:
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
IF g:netrw_ftp !exists or is not 1 IF g:netrw_ftp exists and is 1
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------- ------------------------------
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
open machine [port] open machine [port]
|
||
|
|
user userid password userid password
|
||
|
|
[g:netrw_ftpmode] password
|
||
|
|
[g:netrw_ftpextracmd] [g:netrw_ftpmode]
|
||
|
|
get filename tempfile [g:netrw_extracmd]
|
||
|
|
get filename tempfile >
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
The |g:netrw_ftpmode| and |g:netrw_ftpextracmd| are optional.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netrw then executes the lines above by use of a filter:
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
:%! {g:netrw_ftp_cmd} -i [-n]
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
where
|
||
|
|
g:netrw_ftp_cmd is usually "ftp",
|
||
|
|
-i tells ftp not to be interactive
|
||
|
|
-n means don't use netrc and is used for Method #3 (ftp w/o <.netrc>)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If <.netrc> exists it will be used to avoid having to query the user for
|
||
|
|
userid and password. The transferred file is put into a temporary file.
|
||
|
|
The temporary file is then read into the main editing session window that
|
||
|
|
requested it and the temporary file deleted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your ftp doesn't accept the "user" command and immediately just demands a
|
||
|
|
userid, then try putting "let netrw_ftp=1" in your <.vimrc>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*netrw-cadaver*
|
||
|
|
To handle the SSL certificate dialog for untrusted servers, one may pull
|
||
|
|
down the certificate and place it into /usr/ssl/cert.pem. This operation
|
||
|
|
renders the server treatment as "trusted".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*netrw-fixup* *netreadfixup*
|
||
|
|
If your ftp for whatever reason generates unwanted lines (such as AUTH
|
||
|
|
messages) you may write a NetReadFixup() function:
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
function! NetReadFixup(method,line1,line2)
|
||
|
|
" a:line1: first new line in current file
|
||
|
|
" a:line2: last new line in current file
|
||
|
|
if a:method == 1 "rcp
|
||
|
|
elseif a:method == 2 "ftp + <.netrc>
|
||
|
|
elseif a:method == 3 "ftp + machine,uid,password,filename
|
||
|
|
elseif a:method == 4 "scp
|
||
|
|
elseif a:method == 5 "http/wget
|
||
|
|
elseif a:method == 6 "dav/cadaver
|
||
|
|
elseif a:method == 7 "rsync
|
||
|
|
elseif a:method == 8 "fetch
|
||
|
|
elseif a:method == 9 "sftp
|
||
|
|
else " complain
|
||
|
|
endif
|
||
|
|
endfunction
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
The NetReadFixup() function will be called if it exists and thus allows you to
|
||
|
|
customize your reading process. As a further example, <netrw.vim> contains
|
||
|
|
just such a function to handle Windows 95 ftp. For whatever reason, Windows
|
||
|
|
95's ftp dumps four blank lines at the end of a transfer, and so it is
|
||
|
|
desirable to automate their removal. Here's some code taken from <netrw.vim>
|
||
|
|
itself:
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
if has("win95") && g:netrw_win95ftp
|
||
|
|
fun! NetReadFixup(method, line1, line2)
|
||
|
|
if method == 3 " ftp (no <.netrc>)
|
||
|
|
let fourblanklines= line2 - 3
|
||
|
|
silent fourblanklines.",".line2."g/^\s*/d"
|
||
|
|
endif
|
||
|
|
endfunction
|
||
|
|
endif

INTRODUCTION TO BROWSING *netrw-intro-browse* {{{2
|

|
(Quick References: |netrw-quickmaps| |netrw-quickcoms|)
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
Netrw supports the browsing of directories on your local system and on remote
|
||
|
|
hosts; browsing includes listing files and directories, entering directories,
|
||
|
|
editing files therein, deleting files/directories, making new directories,
|
||
|
|
moving (renaming) files and directories, copying files and directories, etc.
|
||
|
|
One may mark files and execute any system command on them! The Netrw browser
|
||
|
|
generally implements the previous explorer's maps and commands for remote
|
||
|
|
directories, although details (such as pertinent global variable names)
|
||
|
|
necessarily differ. To browse a directory, simply "edit" it! >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vim /your/directory/
|
||
|
|
vim .
|
||
|
|
vim c:\your\directory\
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
(Related topics: |netrw-cr| |netrw-o| |netrw-p| |netrw-P| |netrw-t|
|
||
|
|
|netrw-mf| |netrw-mx| |netrw-D| |netrw-R| |netrw-v| )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Netrw remote file and directory browser handles two protocols: ssh and
|
||
|
|
ftp. The protocol in the url, if it is ftp, will cause netrw also to use ftp
|
||
|
|
in its remote browsing. Specifying any other protocol will cause it to be
|
||
|
|
used for file transfers; but the ssh protocol will be used to do remote
|
||
|
|
browsing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use Netrw's remote directory browser, simply attempt to read a "file" with
|
||
|
|
a trailing slash and it will be interpreted as a request to list a directory:
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
vim [protocol]://[user@]hostname/path/
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
where [protocol] is typically scp or ftp. As an example, try: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vim ftp://ftp.home.vim.org/pub/vim/
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
For local directories, the trailing slash is not required. Again, because it's
|
||
|
|
easy to miss: to browse remote directories, the url must terminate with a
|
||
|
|
slash!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you'd like to avoid entering the password repeatedly for remote directory
|
||
|
|
listings with ssh or scp, see |netrw-ssh-hack|. To avoid password entry with
|
||
|
|
ftp, see |netrw-netrc| (if your ftp supports it).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are several things you can do to affect the browser's display of files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* To change the listing style, press the "i" key (|netrw-i|).
|
||
|
|
Currently there are four styles: thin, long, wide, and tree.
|
||
|
|
To make that change "permanent", see |g:netrw_liststyle|.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* To hide files (don't want to see those xyz~ files anymore?) see
|
||
|
|
|netrw-ctrl-h|.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Press s to sort files by name, time, or size.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See |netrw-browse-cmds| for all the things you can do with netrw!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*netrw-getftype* *netrw-filigree* *netrw-ftype*
|
||
|
|
The |getftype()| function is used to append a bit of filigree to indicate
|
||

BOOKMARKING A DIRECTORY *netrw-mb* *netrw-bookmark* *netrw-bookmarks* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One may easily "bookmark" a directory by using >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mb
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Bookmarks are retained in between sessions in a $HOME/.netrwbook file, and are
|
||
|
|
kept in sorted order.

BROWSING *netrw-cr* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Browsing is simple: move the cursor onto a file or directory of interest.
|
||
|
|
Hitting the <cr> (the return key) will select the file or directory.
|
||
|
|
Directories will themselves be listed, and files will be opened using the
|
||
|
|
protocol given in the original read request.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CAVEAT: There are four forms of listing (see |netrw-i|). Netrw assumes that
|
||
|
|
two or more spaces delimit filenames and directory names for the long and
|
||
|
|
wide listing formats. Thus, if your filename or directory name has two or
|
||
|
|
more sequential spaces embedded in it, or any trailing spaces, then you'll
|
||
|
|
need to use the "thin" format to select it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The |g:netrw_browse_split| option, which is zero by default, may be used to
|
||
|
|
cause the opening of files to be done in a new window or tab instead of the
|
||
|
|
default. When the option is one or two, the splitting will be taken
|
||
|
|
horizontally or vertically, respectively. When the option is set to three, a
|
||
|
|
<cr> will cause the file to appear in a new tab.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When using the gui (gvim), one may select a file by pressing the <leftmouse>
|
||
|
|
button. In addition, if
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*|g:netrw_retmap| == 1 AND (its default value is 0)
|
||
|
|
* in a netrw-selected file, AND
|
||
|
|
* the user doesn't already have a <2-leftmouse> mapping defined before
|
||
|
|
netrw is loaded
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
then a doubly-clicked leftmouse button will return to the netrw browser
|
||
|
|
window.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netrw attempts to speed up browsing, especially for remote browsing where one
|
||
|
|
may have to enter passwords, by keeping and re-using previously obtained
|
||
|
|
directory listing buffers. The |g:netrw_fastbrowse| variable is used to
|
||
|
|
control this behavior; one may have slow browsing (no buffer re-use), medium
|
||
|
|
speed browsing (re-use directory buffer listings only for remote directories),
|
||
|
|
and fast browsing (re-use directory buffer listings as often as possible).
|
||
|
|
The price for such re-use is that when changes are made (such as new files
|
||
|
|
are introduced into a directory), the listing may become out-of-date. One may
|
||
|
|
always refresh directory listing buffers by pressing ctrl-L (see
|
||
|
|
|netrw-ctrl-l|).

BROWSING WITH A HORIZONTALLY SPLIT WINDOW *netrw-o* *netrw-horiz* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Normally one enters a file or directory using the <cr>. However, the "o" map
|
||
|
|
allows one to open a new window to hold the new directory listing or file. A
|
||
|
|
horizontal split is used. (for vertical splitting, see |netrw-v|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Normally, the o key splits the window horizontally with the new window and
|
||
|
|
cursor at the top.

BROWSING WITH A NEW TAB *netrw-t*
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
Normally one enters a file or directory using the <cr>. The "t" map
|
||
|
|
allows one to open a new window holding the new directory listing or file in
|
||
|
|
a new tab.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you'd like to have the new listing in a background tab, use |gT|.

BROWSING WITH A VERTICALLY SPLIT WINDOW *netrw-v* {{{2
|

|
|

|

Normally one enters a file or directory using the <cr>. However, the "v" map
|

|
|
allows one to open a new window to hold the new directory listing or file. A
|
||
|
|
vertical split is used. (for horizontal splitting, see |netrw-o|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Normally, the v key splits the window vertically with the new window and
|
||
|
|
cursor at the left.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is only one tree listing buffer; using "v" on a displayed subdirectory
|
||
|
|
will split the screen, but the same buffer will be shown twice.

CHANGE LISTING STYLE (THIN LONG WIDE TREE) *netrw-i* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "i" map cycles between the thin, long, wide, and tree listing formats.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The thin listing format gives just the files' and directories' names.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The long listing is either based on the "ls" command via ssh for remote
|
||
|
|
directories or displays the filename, file size (in bytes), and the time and
|
||
|
|
date of last modification for local directories. With the long listing
|
||
|
|
format, netrw is not able to recognize filenames which have trailing spaces.
|
||
|
|
Use the thin listing format for such files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The wide listing format uses two or more contiguous spaces to delineate
|
||
|
|
filenames; when using that format, netrw won't be able to recognize or use
|
||
|
|
filenames which have two or more contiguous spaces embedded in the name or any
|
||
|
|
trailing spaces. The thin listing format will, however, work with such files.
|
||
|
|
This listing format is the most compact.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The tree listing format has a top directory followed by files and directories
|
||
|
|
preceded by a "|". One may open and close directories by pressing the <cr>
|
||
|
|
key while atop the directory name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One may make a preferred listing style your default; see |g:netrw_liststyle|.
|
||
|
|
As an example, by putting the following line in your .vimrc, >
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_liststyle= 4
|
||
|
|
the tree style will become your default listing style.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One typical way to use the netrw tree display is to: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vim .
|
||
|
|
(use i until a tree display shows)
|
||
|
|
navigate to a file
|
||
|
|
v (edit as desired in vertically split window)
|
||
|
|
ctrl-w h (to return to the netrw listing)
|
||
|
|
P (edit newly selected file in the previous window)
|
||
|
|
ctrl-w h (to return to the netrw listing)
|
||
|
|
P (edit newly selected file in the previous window)

CHANGING TO A PREDECESSOR DIRECTORY *netrw-u* *netrw-updir* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every time you change to a new directory (new for the current session),
|
||
|
|
netrw will save the directory in a recently-visited directory history
|
||
|
|
list (unless |g:netrw_dirhistmax| is zero; by default, it's ten). With the
|
||
|
|
"u" map, one can change to an earlier directory (predecessor). To do
|
||
|
|
the opposite, see |netrw-U|.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "u" map also accepts counts to go back in the history several slots.
|
||
|
|
For your convenience, |netrw-qb| lists the history number which can be
|
||
|
|
re-used in that count.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See |g:netrw_dirhistmax| for how to control the quantity of history stack

CHANGING TO A SUCCESSOR DIRECTORY *netrw-U* *netrw-downdir* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|

With the "U" map, one can change to a later directory (successor).
|
||
|
|
This map is the opposite of the "u" map. (see |netrw-u|) Use the
|
||
|
|
q map to list both the bookmarks and history. (see |netrw-qb|)
|
||
|

The "U" map also accepts counts to go forward in the history several slots.

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With :NetrwClean one may easily remove netrw from one's home directory;
|
||
|
|
more precisely, from the first directory on your |'runtimepath'|.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With :NetrwClean!, netrw will remove netrw from all directories on your
|
||
|
|
|'runtimepath'|.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With either form of the command, netrw will first ask for confirmation
|
||
|
|
that the removal is in fact what you want to do. If netrw doesn't have
|
||
|
|
permission to remove a file, it will issue an error message.

CUSTOMIZING BROWSING WITH A USER FUNCTION *netrw-x* *netrw-handler* {{{2
|
||
|
|
(also see |netrw_filehandler|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Certain files, such as html, gif, jpeg, (word/office) doc, etc, files, are
|
||
|
|
best seen with a special handler (ie. a tool provided with your computer).
|
||
|
|
Netrw allows one to invoke such special handlers by: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* when Exploring, hit the "x" key
|
||
|
|
* when editing, hit gx with the cursor atop the special filename
|
||
|
|
< (not available if the |g:netrw_nogx| variable exists)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netrw determines which special handler by the following method:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* if |g:netrw_browsex_viewer| exists, then it will be used to attempt to
|
||
|
|
view files. Examples of useful settings (place into your <.vimrc>): >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:let g:netrw_browsex_viewer= "kfmclient exec"
|
||
|
|
< or >
|
||
|
|
:let g:netrw_browsex_viewer= "gnome-open"
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
If g:netrw_browsex_viewer == '-', then netrwFileHandler() will be
|
||
|
|
invoked first (see |netrw_filehandler|).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* for Windows 32 or 64, the url and FileProtocolHandler dlls are used.
|
||
|
|
* for Gnome (with gnome-open): gnome-open is used.
|
||
|
|
* for KDE (with kfmclient) : kfmclient is used.
|
||
|
|
* for Mac OS X : open is used.
|
||
|
|
* otherwise the netrwFileHandler plugin is used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The file's suffix is used by these various approaches to determine an
|
||
|
|
appropriate application to use to "handle" these files. Such things as
|
||
|
|
OpenOffice (*.sfx), visualization (*.jpg, *.gif, etc), and PostScript (*.ps,
|
||
|
|
*.eps) can be handled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*netrw_filehandler*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "x" map applies a function to a file, based on its extension. Of course,
|
||
|
|
the handler function must exist for it to be called!
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
Ex. mypgm.html x ->
|
||
|
|
NFH_html("scp://user@host/some/path/mypgm.html")
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Users may write their own netrw File Handler functions to support more
|
||
|
|
suffixes with special handling. See <autoload/netrwFileHandlers.vim> for
|
||
|
|
examples on how to make file handler functions. As an example: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
" NFH_suffix(filename)
|
||
|
|
fun! NFH_suffix(filename)
|
||
|
|
..do something special with filename..
|
||
|
|
endfun
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
These functions need to be defined in some file in your .vim/plugin
|
||
|
|
(vimfiles\plugin) directory. Vim's function names may not have punctuation
|
||
|
|
characters (except for the underscore) in them. To support suffices that
|
||
|
|
contain such characters, netrw will first convert the suffix using the
|
||
|
|
following table: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
@ -> AT ! -> EXCLAMATION % -> PERCENT
|
||
|
|
: -> COLON = -> EQUAL ? -> QUESTION
|
||
|
|
, -> COMMA - -> MINUS ; -> SEMICOLON
|
||
|
|
$ -> DOLLAR + -> PLUS ~ -> TILDE
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
So, for example: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
file.rcs,v -> NFH_rcsCOMMAv()
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|

DELETING FILES OR DIRECTORIES *netrw-delete* *netrw-D* *netrw-del* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If files have not been marked with |netrw-mf|: (local marked file list)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Deleting/removing files and directories involves moving the cursor to the
|
||
|
|
file/directory to be deleted and pressing "D". Directories must be empty
|
||
|
|
first before they can be successfully removed. If the directory is a
|
||
|
|
softlink to a directory, then netrw will make two requests to remove the
|
||
|
|
directory before succeeding. Netrw will ask for confirmation before doing
|
||
|
|
the removal(s). You may select a range of lines with the "V" command
|
||
|
|
(visual selection), and then pressing "D".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If files have been marked with |netrw-mf|: (local marked file list)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Marked files (and empty directories) will be deleted; again, you'll be
|
||
|
|
asked to confirm the deletion before it actually takes place.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The |g:netrw_rm_cmd|, |g:netrw_rmf_cmd|, and |g:netrw_rmdir_cmd| variables are
|
||
|
|
used to control the attempts to remove files and directories. The
|
||
|
|
g:netrw_rm_cmd is used with files, and its default value is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
g:netrw_rm_cmd: ssh HOSTNAME rm
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The g:netrw_rmdir_cmd variable is used to support the removal of directories.
|
||
|
|
Its default value is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
g:netrw_rmdir_cmd: ssh HOSTNAME rmdir
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If removing a directory fails with g:netrw_rmdir_cmd, netrw then will attempt
|
||
|
|
to remove it again using the g:netrw_rmf_cmd variable. Its default value is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
g:netrw_rmf_cmd: ssh HOSTNAME rm -f

:Nexplore............. go to next matching file *:Nexplore*
|
||
|
|
:Pexplore............. go to previous matching file *:Pexplore*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
: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).

EXPLORING WITH STARS AND PATTERNS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When Explore, Sexplore, Hexplore, or Vexplore are used with one of the
|
||
|
|
following four styles, Explore generates a list of files which satisfy
|
||
|
|
the request. >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*/filepat files in current directory which satisfy filepat
|
||
|
|
**/filepat files in current directory or below which satisfy the
|
||
|
|
file pattern
|
||
|
|
*//pattern files in the current directory which contain the
|
||
|
|
pattern (vimgrep is used)
|
||
|
|
**//pattern files in the current directory or below which contain
|
||
|
|
the pattern (vimgrep is used)
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
The cursor will be placed on the first file in the list. One may then
|
||
|
|
continue to go to subsequent files on that list via |:Nexplore| or to
|
||
|
|
preceding files on that list with |:Pexplore|. Explore will update the
|
||
|
|
directory and place the cursor appropriately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A plain >
|
||
|
|
:Explore
|
||
|
|
will clear the explore list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your console or gui produces recognizable shift-up or shift-down sequences,
|
||
|
|
then you'll likely find using shift-downarrow and shift-uparrow convenient.
|
||
|
|
They're mapped by netrw:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<s-down> == Nexplore, and
|
||
|
|
<s-up> == Pexplore.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As an example, consider
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
:Explore */*.c
|

:Nexplore
|
||
|
|
:Nexplore
|
||
|
|
:Pexplore
|
||
|
|
<
|

The status line will show, on the right hand side of the status line, a

DISPLAYING INFORMATION ABOUT FILE *netrw-qf* {{{2
|

|
|

With the cursor atop a filename, pressing "qf" will reveal the file's size
|
||
|
|
and last modification timestamp. Currently this capability is only available
|
||
|
|
for local files.

EDIT FILE OR DIRECTORY HIDING LIST *netrw-ctrl-h* *netrw-edithide* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "<ctrl-h>" map brings up a requestor allowing the user to change the
|
||
|
|
file/directory hiding list contained in |g:netrw_list_hide|. The hiding list
|
||
|
|
consists of one or more patterns delimited by commas. Files and/or
|
||
|
|
directories satisfying these patterns will either be hidden (ie. not shown) or
|
||
|
|
be the only ones displayed (see |netrw-a|).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "gh" mapping (see |netrw-gh|) quickly alternates between the usual
|
||
|
|
hiding list and the hiding of files or directories that begin with ".".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As an example, >
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_list_hide= '\(^\|\s\s\)\zs\.\S\+'
|
||
|
|
Effectively, this makes the effect of a |netrw-gh| command the initial setting.
|
||
|
|
What it means:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\(^\|\s\s\) : if the line begins with the following, -or-
|
||
|
|
two consecutive spaces are encountered
|
||
|
|
\zs : start the hiding match now
|
||
|
|
\. : if it now begins with a dot

\S\+ : and is followed by one or more non-whitespace

EDITING THE SORTING SEQUENCE *netrw-S* *netrw-sortsequence* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When "Sorted by" is name, one may specify priority via the sorting sequence
|
||
|
|
(g:netrw_sort_sequence). The sorting sequence typically prioritizes the
|
||
|
|
name-listing by suffix, although any pattern will do. Patterns are delimited
|
||
|
|
by commas. The default sorting sequence is (all one line):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For Unix: >
|
||
|
|
'[\/]$,\<core\%(\.\d\+\)\=,\.[a-np-z]$,\.h$,\.c$,\.cpp$,*,\.o$,\.obj$,
|
||
|
|
\.info$,\.swp$,\.bak$,\~$'
|

<

Otherwise: >

'[\/]$,\.[a-np-z]$,\.h$,\.c$,\.cpp$,*,\.o$,\.obj$,\.info$,
|
||
|
|
\.swp$,\.bak$,\~$'
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
The lone * is where all filenames not covered by one of the other patterns
|
||
|
|
will end up. One may change the sorting sequence by modifying the
|
||
|
|
g:netrw_sort_sequence variable (either manually or in your <.vimrc>) or by
|
||
|
|
using the "S" map.

EXECUTING FILE UNDER CURSOR VIA SYSTEM() *netrw-X*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pressing X while the cursor is atop an executable file will yield a prompt
|
||
|
|
using the filename asking for any arguments. Upon pressing a [return], netrw
|
||
|
|
will then call |system()| with that command and arguments. The result will
|
||
|
|
be displayed by |:echomsg|, and so |:messages| will repeat display of the
|
||
|
|
result. Ansi escape sequences will be stripped out.

FORCING TREATMENT AS A FILE OR DIRECTORY *netrw-gd* *netrw-gf* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Remote symbolic links (ie. those listed via ssh or ftp) are problematic
|
||
|
|
in that it is difficult to tell whether they link to a file or to a
|
||
|
|
directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To force treatment as a file: use >
|
||
|
|
gf

GOING UP *netrw--* {{{2
|

To go up a directory, press "-" or press the <cr> when atop the ../ directory
|

|
|
entry in the listing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netrw will use the command in |g:netrw_list_cmd| to perform the directory
|
||
|
|
listing operation after changing HOSTNAME to the host specified by the
|
||
|
|
user-provided url. By default netrw provides the command as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ssh HOSTNAME ls -FLa
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where the HOSTNAME becomes the [user@]hostname as requested by the attempt to
|
||
|
|
read. Naturally, the user may override this command with whatever is
|
||
|
|
preferred. The NetList function which implements remote browsing
|
||
|
|
expects that directories will be flagged by a trailing slash.

|
|
HIDING FILES OR DIRECTORIES *netrw-a* *netrw-hiding* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netrw's browsing facility allows one to use the hiding list in one of three
|
||
|
|
ways: ignore it, hide files which match, and show only those files which
|
||
|
|
match.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If no files have been marked via |netrw-mf|:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "a" map allows the user to cycle through the three hiding modes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The |g:netrw_list_hide| variable holds a comma delimited list of patterns
|
||
|
|
based on regular expressions (ex. ^.*\.obj$,^\.) which specify the hiding list.
|
||
|
|
(also see |netrw-ctrl-h|) To set the hiding list, use the <c-h> map. As an
|
||
|
|
example, to hide files which begin with a ".", one may use the <c-h> map to
|
||
|
|
set the hiding list to '^\..*' (or one may put let g:netrw_list_hide= '^\..*'
|
||
|
|
in one's <.vimrc>). One may then use the "a" key to show all files, hide
|
||
|
|
matching files, or to show only the matching files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example: \.[ch]$
|
||
|
|
This hiding list command will hide/show all *.c and *.h files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example: \.c$,\.h$
|
||
|
|
This hiding list command will also hide/show all *.c and *.h
|
||
|
|
files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Don't forget to use the "a" map to select the mode (normal/hiding/show) you
|
||
|
|
want!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If files have been marked using |netrw-mf|, then this command will:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if showing all files or non-hidden files:
|
||
|
|
modify the g:netrw_list_hide list by appending the marked files to it
|
||
|
|
and showing only non-hidden files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
else if showing hidden files only:
|
||
|
|
modify the g:netrw_list_hide list by removing the marked files from it
|
||
|
|
and showing only non-hidden files.

IMPROVING BROWSING *netrw-listhack* *netrw-ssh-hack* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Especially with the remote directory browser, constantly entering the password
|
||
|
|
is tedious.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For Linux/Unix systems, the book "Linux Server Hacks - 100 industrial strength
|
||
|
|
tips & tools" by Rob Flickenger (O'Reilly, ISBN 0-596-00461-3) gives a tip
|
||
|
|
for setting up no-password ssh and scp and discusses associated security
|
||
|
|
issues. It used to be available at http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/66 ,
|
||
|
|
but apparently that address is now being redirected to some "hackzine".
|
||
|
|
I'll attempt a summary based on that article and on a communication from
|
||
|
|
Ben Schmidt:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Generate a public/private key pair on the local machine
|
||
|
|
(ssh client): >
|
||
|
|
ssh-keygen -t rsa
|
||
|
|
(saving the file in ~/.ssh/id_rsa as prompted)
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
2. Just hit the <CR> when asked for passphrase (twice) for no
|
||
|
|
passphrase. If you do use a passphrase, you will also need to use
|
||
|
|
ssh-agent so you only have to type the passphrase once per session.
|
||
|
|
If you don't use a passphrase, simply logging onto your local
|
||
|
|
computer or getting access to the keyfile in any way will suffice
|
||
|
|
to access any ssh servers which have that key authorized for login.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. This creates two files: >
|
||
|
|
~/.ssh/id_rsa
|
||
|
|
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
4. On the target machine (ssh server): >
|
||
|
|
cd
|
||
|
|
mkdir -p .ssh
|
||
|
|
chmod 0700 .ssh
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
5. On your local machine (ssh client): (one line) >
|
||
|
|
ssh {serverhostname}
|
||
|
|
cat '>>' '~/.ssh/authorized_keys2' < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
or, for OpenSSH, (one line) >
|
||
|
|
ssh {serverhostname}
|
||
|
|
cat '>>' '~/.ssh/authorized_keys' < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
You can test it out with >
|
||
|
|
ssh {serverhostname}
|
||
|
|
and you should be log onto the server machine without further need to type
|
||
|
|
anything.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you decided to use a passphrase, do: >
|
||
|
|
ssh-agent $SHELL
|
||
|
|
ssh-add
|
||
|
|
ssh {serverhostname}
|
||
|
|
You will be prompted for your key passphrase when you use ssh-add, but not
|
||
|
|
subsequently when you use ssh. For use with vim, you can use >
|
||
|
|
ssh-agent vim
|
||
|
|
and, when next within vim, use >
|
||
|
|
:!ssh-add
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you can apply ssh-agent to the terminal you're planning on
|
||
|
|
running vim in: >
|
||
|
|
ssh-agent xterm &
|
||
|
|
and do ssh-add whenever you need.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For Windows, folks on the vim mailing list have mentioned that Pageant helps
|
||
|
|
with avoiding the constant need to enter the password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kingston Fung wrote about another way to avoid constantly needing to enter
|
||
|
|
passwords:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to avoid the need to type in the password for scp each time, you
|
||
|
|
provide a hack in the docs to set up a non password ssh account. I found a
|
||
|
|
better way to do that: I can use a regular ssh account which uses a
|
||
|
|
password to access the material without the need to key-in the password
|
||
|
|
each time. It's good for security and convenience. I tried ssh public key
|
||
|
|
authorization + ssh-agent, implementing this, and it works! Here are two

MAKING A NEW DIRECTORY *netrw-d* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With the "d" map one may make a new directory either remotely (which depends
|
||
|
|
on the global variable g:netrw_mkdir_cmd) or locally (which depends on the
|
||
|
|
global variable g:netrw_localmkdir). Netrw will issue a request for the new
|
||
|
|
directory's name. A bare <CR> at that point will abort the making of the
|
||
|
|
directory. Attempts to make a local directory that already exists (as either
|
||
|
|
a file or a directory) will be detected, reported on, and ignored.

|
MAKING THE BROWSING DIRECTORY THE CURRENT DIRECTORY *netrw-c* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, |g:netrw_keepdir| is 1. This setting means that the current
|
||
|
|
directory will not track the browsing directory. (done for backwards
|
||
|
|
compatibility with v6's file explorer).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Setting g:netrw_keepdir to 0 tells netrw to make vim's current directory
|
||
|
|
track netrw's browsing directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, given the default setting for g:netrw_keepdir of 1 where netrw
|
||
|
|
maintains its own separate notion of the current directory, in order to make
|
||
|
|
the two directories the same, use the "c" map (just type c). That map will
|
||
|
|
set Vim's notion of the current directory to netrw's current browsing
|
||
|
|
directory.

MARKING FILES *netrw-mf* {{{2
|
||
|
|
(also see |netrw-mr|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One may mark files with the cursor atop a filename and then pressing "mf".
|
||
|
|
With gvim, one may also mark files with <s-leftmouse>. The following netrw
|
||
|
|
maps make use of marked files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|netrw-a| Hide marked files/directories
|
||
|
|
|netrw-D| Delete marked files/directories
|
||
|
|
|netrw-mc| Copy marked files to target
|
||
|
|
|netrw-md| Apply vimdiff to marked files
|
||
|
|
|netrw-me| Edit marked files
|
||
|
|
|netrw-mF| Unmark marked files
|
||
|
|
|netrw-mg| Apply vimgrep to marked files
|
||
|
|
|netrw-mm| Move marked files
|
||
|
|
|netrw-mp| Print marked files
|
||
|
|
|netrw-mt| Set target for |netrw-mm| and |netrw-mc|
|
||
|
|
|netrw-mT| Generate tags using marked files
|
||
|
|
|netrw-mx| Apply shell command to marked files
|
||
|
|
|netrw-mz| Compress/Decompress marked files
|
||
|
|
|netrw-qF| Mark files using quickfix list
|
||
|
|
|netrw-O| Obtain marked files
|
||
|
|
|netrw-R| Rename marked files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One may unmark files one at a time the same way one marks them; ie. place
|
||
|
|
the cursor atop a marked file and press "mf". This process also works
|
||
|
|
with <s-leftmouse> using gvim. One may unmark all files by pressing
|
||
|
|
"mu" (see |netrw-mu|).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Marked files are highlighted using the "netrwMarkFile" highlighting group,
|
||
|
|
which by default is linked to "Identifier" (see Identifier under
|
||
|
|
|group-name|). You may change the highlighting group by putting something
|
||
|
|
like >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
highlight clear netrwMarkFile
|
||
|
|
hi link netrwMarkFile ..whatever..
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
into $HOME/.vim/after/syntax/netrw.vim .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*markfilelist* *global_markfilelist* *local_markfilelist*
|
||
|
|
All marked files are entered onto the global marked file list; there is only
|
||
|
|
one such list. In addition, every netrw buffer also has its own local marked
|
||
|
|
file list; since netrw buffers are associated with specific directories, this
|
||
|
|
means that each directory has its own local marked file list. The various
|
||
|
|
commands which operate on marked files use one or the other of the marked file
|
||
|
|
lists.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
UNMARKING FILES *netrw-mF* {{{2
|
||
|
|
(also see |netrw-mf|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This command will unmark all files in the current buffer. One may also use
|
||
|
|
mf (|netrw-mf|) on a specific file to unmark just that file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MARKING FILES BY QUICKFIX LIST *netrw-qF*
|
||
|
|
(also see |netrw-mf|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One may convert the |quickfix-error-lists| into a marked file list using
|
||
|
|
"qF". You may then proceed with commands such as me (|netrw-me|) to
|
||
|
|
edit them. Quickfix error lists are generated, for example, by calls
|
||
|
|
to |:vimgrep|.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MARKING FILES BY REGULAR EXPRESSION *netrw-mr* {{{2
|
||
|
|
(also see |netrw-mf|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One may also mark files by pressing "mr"; netrw will then issue a prompt,
|
||
|
|
"Enter regexp: ". You may then enter a shell-style regular expression such
|
||
|
|
as *.c$ (see |glob()|). For remote systems, glob() doesn't work -- so netrw
|
||
|
|
converts "*" into ".*" (see |regexp|) and marks files based on that. In the
|
||
|
|
future I may make it possible to use |regexp|s instead of glob()-style
|
||
|
|
expressions (yet-another-option).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MARKED FILES: ARBITRARY COMMAND *netrw-mx* {{{2
|
||
|
|
(See |netrw-mf| and |netrw-mr| for how to mark files)
|
||
|
|
(uses the local marked-file list)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Upon activation of the "mx" map, netrw will query the user for some (external)
|
||
|
|
command to be applied to all marked files. All "%"s in the command will be
|
||
|
|
substituted with the name of each marked file in turn. If no "%"s are in the
|
||
|
|
command, then the command will be followed by a space and a marked filename.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MARKED FILES: COMPRESSION AND DECOMPRESSION *netrw-mz* {{{2

(See |netrw-mf| and |netrw-mr| for how to mark files)
|
||
|
|
(uses the local marked file list)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If any marked files are compressed, then "mz" will decompress them.
|
||
|
|
If any marked files are decompressed, then "mz" will compress them
|
||
|
|
using the command specified by |g:netrw_compress|; by default,
|
||
|
|
that's "gzip".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For decompression, netrw provides a |Dictionary| of suffices and their
|
||
|
|
associated decompressing utilities; see |g:netrw_decompress|.

|
|
Select a target directory with mt (|netrw-mt|). Then change directory,
|

select file(s) (see |netrw-mf|), and press "mc". The copy is done
|
||

(See |netrw-mf| and |netrw-mr| for how to mark files)
|
||
|
|
(uses the global marked file list)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use |vimdiff| to visualize difference between selected files (two or
|
||
|
|
three may be selected for this). Uses the global marked file list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MARKED FILES: EDITING *netrw-me* {{{2
|
||
|
|
(See |netrw-mf| and |netrw-mr| for how to mark files)
|
||
|
|
(uses the global marked file list)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This command will place the marked files on the |arglist| and commence
|
||
|
|
editing them. One may return the to explorer window with |:Rexplore|.
|
||
|
|
(use |:n| and |:p| to edit next and previous files in the arglist)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MARKED FILES: GREP *netrw-mg* {{{2
|
||
|
|
(See |netrw-mf| and |netrw-mr| for how to mark files)
|
||
|
|
(uses the global marked file list)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This command will apply |:vimgrep| to the marked files.
|
||
|
|
The command will ask for the requested pattern; one may then enter: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/pattern/[g][j]
|
||
|
|
! /pattern/[g][j]
|
||
|
|
pattern
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
In the cases of "j" option usage as shown above, "mg" will winnow the current
|
||
|
|
marked file list to just those possessing the specified pattern.
|
||
|
|
Thus, one may use >
|
||
|
|
mr ...file-pattern
|
||
|
|
mg ..contents-pattern
|
||
|
|
to have a marked file list satisfying the file-pattern but containing the
|
||
|
|
desried contents-pattern.

MARKED FILES: HIDING AND UNHIDING BY SUFFIX *netrw-mh* {{{2

|
||
|
|
(uses the local marked file list)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This command extracts the suffices of the marked files and toggles their
|
||
|
|
presence on the hiding list. Please note that marking the same suffix
|
||
|
|
this way multiple times will result in the suffix's presence being toggled
|
||
|
|
for each file (so an even quantity of marked files having the same suffix
|
||
|
|
is the same as not having bothered to select them at all).

WARNING: moving files is more dangerous than copying them.
|
||
|
|
A file being moved is first copied and then deleted; if the

the file. Either try things out with unimportant files
|

MARKED FILES: SETTING THE TARGET DIRECTORY *netrw-mt* {{{2
|
||
|
|
(See |netrw-mf| and |netrw-mr| for how to mark files)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Set the marked file copy/move-to target (see |netrw-mc| and |netrw-mm|):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If the cursor is atop a file name, then the netrw window's currently
|
||
|
|
displayed directory is used for the copy/move-to target.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Also, if the cursor is in the banner, then the netrw window's currently
|
||
|
|
displayed directory is used for the copy/move-to target.
|
||
|
|
Unless the target already is the current directory. In which case,
|
||
|
|
remove the target.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* However, if the cursor is atop a directory name, then that directory is
|
||
|
|
used for the copy/move-to target
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is only one copy/move-to target per vim session; ie. the target is a
|
||
|
|
script variable (see |s:var|) and is shared between all netrw windows (in an
|
||
|
|
instance of vim).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When using menus and gvim, netrw provides a "Targets" entry which allows one
|
||
|
|
to pick a target from the list of bookmarks and history.

MARKED FILES: TAGGING *netrw-mT* {{{2
|
||
|
|
(See |netrw-mf| and |netrw-mr| for how to mark files)
|
||
|
|
(uses the global marked file list)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "mT" mapping will apply the command in |g:netrw_ctags| (by default, it is
|
||
|
|
"ctags") to marked files. For remote browsing, in order to create a tags file
|
||
|
|
netrw will use ssh (see |g:netrw_ssh_cmd|), and so ssh must be available for
|
||
|
|
this to work on remote systems. For your local system, see |ctags| on how to
|
||
|
|
get a version. I myself use hdrtags, currently available at
|
||
|
|
http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/src/index.html , and have >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_ctags= "hdrtag"
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
in my <.vimrc>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When a remote set of files are tagged, the resulting tags file is "obtained";
|
||
|
|
ie. a copy is transferred to the local system's directory. The local tags
|
||
|
|
file is then modified so that one may use it through the network. The
|
||
|
|
modification is concerns the names of the files in the tags; each filename is
|
||
|
|
preceded by the netrw-compatible url used to obtain it. When one subsequently
|
||
|
|
uses one of the go to tag actions (|tags|), the url will be used by netrw to
|
||
|
|
edit the desired file and go to the tag.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

MARKED FILES: TARGET DIRECTORY USING BOOKMARKS *netrw-Tb* {{{2

Sets the marked file copy/move-to target (see |netrw-mc| and |netrw-mm|).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The |netrw-qb| map will give you a list of bookmarks (and history).

|
|
re-use directory listings only
|
||
|
|
when remote directory browsing.
|
||
|
|
(default value)
|

|
|
=2: fast directory browsing;
|
||
|
|
only obtains directory listings when the
|
||
|
|
directory hasn't been seen before
|
||
|
|
(or |netrw-ctrl-l| is used).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fast browsing retains old directory listing
|
||
|
|
buffers so that they don't need to be
|
||
|
|
re-acquired. This feature is especially
|
||
|
|
important for remote browsing. However, if
|
||
|
|
a file is introduced or deleted into or from
|
||
|
|
such directories, the old directory buffer
|
||
|
|
becomes out-of-date. One may always refresh
|
||
|
|
such a directory listing with |netrw-ctrl-l|.
|
||
|
|
This option gives the user the choice of
|
||
|
|
trading off accuracy (ie. up-to-date listing)
|
||
|
|
versus speed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

*g:netrw_fname_escape* =' ?&;%'

remove such embedded messages. By default its

|
*g:netrw_sort_options* sorting is done using |:sort|; this
|

|
|
variable's value is appended to the
|

|
|
sort command. Thus one may ignore case,
|
||
|

*g:netrw_sort_sequence* when sorting by name, first sort by the
|

|
|
comma-separated pattern sequence. Note that
|
||
|
|
the filigree added to indicate filetypes
|
||
|
|
should be accounted for in your pattern.
|

|
\.info$,\.swp$,\.obj$'
|
||
|

|
*g:netrw_special_syntax* If true, then certain files will be shown

|
netrwBak : *.bak

These syntax highlighting groups are linked
|
||
|
|
to Folded or DiffChange by default
|
||
|
|
(see |hl-Folded| and |hl-DiffChange|), but
|
||
|
|
one may put lines like >

|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_ssh_browse_reject* ssh can sometimes produce unwanted lines,
|
||
|
|
messages, banners, and whatnot that one doesn't
|
||
|
|
want masquerading as "directories" and "files".
|
||
|
|
Use this pattern to remove such embedded
|
||
|
|
messages. By default its value is:
|
||
|
|
'^total\s\+\d\+$'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_ssh_cmd* One may specify an executable command
|
||
|
|
to use instead of ssh for remote actions
|
||
|
|
such as listing, file removal, etc.
|
||
|
|
default: ssh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_tmpfile_escape* =' &;'
|
||
|
|
escape() is applied to all temporary files
|
||
|
|
to escape these characters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_timefmt* specify format string to vim's strftime().
|
||
|
|
The default, "%c", is "the preferred date
|
||
|
|
and time representation for the current
|
||
|
|
locale" according to my manpage entry for
|
||
|
|
strftime(); however, not all are satisfied
|
||
|
|
with it. Some alternatives:
|
||
|
|
"%a %d %b %Y %T",
|
||
|
|
" %a %Y-%m-%d %I-%M-%S %p"
|
||
|
|
default: "%c"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_use_noswf* netrw normally avoids writing swapfiles
|
||
|
|
for browser buffers. However, under some
|
||
|
|
systems this apparently is causing nasty
|
||
|
|
ml_get errors to appear; if you're getting
|
||
|
|
ml_get errors, try putting
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_use_noswf= 0
|
||
|
|
in your .vimrc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_winsize* specify initial size of new windows made with
|
||
|
|
"o" (see |netrw-o|), "v" (see |netrw-v|),
|
||
|
|
|:Hexplore| or |:Vexplore|. The g:netrw_winsize
|
||
|
|
is an integer describing the percentage of the
|
||
|
|
current netrw buffer's window to be used for
|
||
|
|
the new window.
|
||
|
|
If g:netrw_winsize is less than zero, then
|
||
|
|
the absolute value of g:netrw_winsize lines
|
||
|
|
or columns will be used for the new window.
|
||
|
|
default: 50 (for 50%)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:netrw_xstrlen* Controls how netrw computes string lengths,
|
||
|
|
including multi-byte characters' string
|
||
|
|
length. (thanks to N Weibull, T Mechelynck)
|
||
|
|
=0: uses Vim's built-in strlen()
|
||
|
|
=1: number of codepoints (Latin a + combining
|
||
|
|
circumflex is two codepoints) (DEFAULT)
|
||
|
|
=2: number of spacing codepoints (Latin a +
|
||
|
|
combining circumflex is one spacing
|
||
|
|
codepoint; a hard tab is one; wide and
|
||
|
|
narrow CJK are one each; etc.)
|
||
|
|
=3: virtual length (counting tabs as anything
|
||
|
|
between 1 and |'tabstop'|, wide CJK as 2
|
||
|
|
rather than 1, Arabic alif as zero when
|
||
|
|
immediately preceded by lam, one
|
||
|
|
otherwise, etc)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*g:NetrwTopLvlMenu* This variable specifies the top level
|
||
|
|
menu name; by default, it's "Netrw.". If
|
||
|
|
you wish to change this, do so in your
|
||
|
|
.vimrc.

NETRW BROWSING AND OPTION INCOMPATIBILITIES *netrw-incompatible* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netrw has been designed to handle user options by saving them, setting the
|
||
|
|
options to something that's compatible with netrw's needs, and then restoring
|
||
|
|
them. However, the autochdir option: >
|
||
|
|
:set acd
|
||
|
|
is problematical. Autochdir sets the current directory to that containing the
|
||
|
|
file you edit; this apparently also applies to directories. In other words,
|
||
|
|
autochdir sets the current directory to that containing the "file" (even if
|
||
|
|
that "file" is itself a directory).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NETRW SETTINGS WINDOW *netrw-settings-window* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With the NetrwSettings.vim plugin, >
|
||
|
|
:NetrwSettings
|
||
|
|
will bring up a window with the many variables that netrw uses for its
|
||
|
|
settings. You may change any of their values; when you save the file, the
|
||
|
|
settings therein will be used. One may also press "?" on any of the lines for
|
||
|
|
help on what each of the variables do.

OBTAINING A FILE *netrw-O* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there are no marked files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When browsing a remote directory, one may obtain a file under the cursor
|
||
|
|
(ie. get a copy on your local machine, but not edit it) by pressing the O
|
||
|
|
key.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there are marked files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The marked files will be obtained (ie. a copy will be transferred to your
|
||
|
|
local machine, but not set up for editing).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Only ftp and scp are supported for this operation (but since these two are
|
||
|
|
available for browsing, that shouldn't be a problem). The status bar will
|
||
|
|
then show, on its right hand side, a message like "Obtaining filename". The
|
||
|
|
statusline will be restored after the transfer is complete.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netrw can also "obtain" a file using the local browser. Netrw's display
|
||
|
|
of a directory is not necessarily the same as Vim's "current directory",
|
||
|
|
unless |g:netrw_keepdir| is set to 0 in the user's <.vimrc>. One may select
|
||
|
|
a file using the local browser (by putting the cursor on it) and pressing
|
||
|
|
"O" will then "obtain" the file; ie. copy it to Vim's current directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||

OPEN A NEW FILE IN NETRW'S CURRENT DIRECTORY *netrw-%*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To open a file in netrw's current directory, press "%". This map will
|
||
|
|
query the user for a new filename; an empty file by that name will be
|
||
|
|
placed in the netrw's current directory (ie. b:netrw_curdir).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PREVIEW WINDOW *netrw-p* *netrw-preview* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One may use a preview window by using the "p" key when the cursor is atop the
|
||
|
|
desired filename to be previewed. The display will then split to show both
|
||
|
|
the browser (where the cursor will remain) and the file (see |:pedit|).
|
||
|
|
By default, the split will be taken horizontally; one may use vertical
|
||
|
|
splitting if one has set |g:netrw_preview| first.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An interesting set of netrw settings is: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_preview = 1
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_liststyle = 3
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_winsize = 30
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These will:
|
||
|
|
1. Make vertical splitting the default for previewing files
|
||
|
|
2. Make the default listing style "tree"
|
||
|
|
3. When a vertical preview window is opened, the directory listing
|
||
|
|
will use only 30% of the columns available; the rest of the window
|
||
|
|
is used for the preview window.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PREVIOUS WINDOW *netrw-P* *netrw-prvwin* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To edit a file or directory in the previously used (last accessed) window (see
|
||
|
|
:he |CTRL-W_p|), press a "P". If there's only one window, then the one window
|
||
|
|
will be horizontally split (by default).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there's more than one window, the previous window will be re-used on
|
||
|
|
the selected file/directory. If the previous window's associated buffer
|
||
|
|
has been modified, and there's only one window with that buffer, then
|
||
|
|
the user will be asked if s/he wishes to save the buffer first (yes,
|
||
|
|
no, or cancel).

RENAMING FILES OR DIRECTORIES *netrw-move* *netrw-rename* *netrw-R* {{{2

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there are no marked files: (see |netrw-mf|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Renaming/moving files and directories involves moving the cursor to the
|
||
|
|
file/directory to be moved (renamed) and pressing "R". You will then be
|
||
|
|
queried for where you want the file/directory to be moved. You may select
|
||
|
|
a range of lines with the "V" command (visual selection), and then
|
||
|
|
pressing "R".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there are marked files: (see |netrw-mf|)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Marked files will be renamed (moved). You will be queried as above in
|
||
|
|
order to specify where you want the file/directory to be moved.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WARNING:~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that moving files is a dangerous operation; copies are safer. That's
|
||
|
|
because a "move" for remote files is actually a copy + delete -- and if
|
||
|
|
the copy fails and the delete does not, you may lose the file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The g:netrw_rename_cmd variable is used to implement renaming. By default its
|
||
|
|
value is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ssh HOSTNAME mv
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One may rename a block of files and directories by selecting them with
|
||
|
|
the V (|linewise-visual|).

SELECTING SORTING STYLE *netrw-s* *netrw-sort* {{{2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One may select the sorting style by name, time, or (file) size. The "s" map
|
||
|
|
allows one to circulate amongst the three choices; the directory listing will
|
||
|
|
automatically be refreshed to reflect the selected style.

10. Problems and Fixes *netrw-problems* {{{1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(This section is likely to grow as I get feedback)
|
||
|
|
(also see |netrw-debug|)
|
||
|
|
*netrw-p1*
|
||
|
|
P1. I use windows 95, and my ftp dumps four blank lines at the
|
||
|
|
end of every read.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See |netrw-fixup|, and put the following into your
|
||
|
|
<.vimrc> file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_win95ftp= 1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*netrw-p2*
|
||
|
|
P2. I use Windows, and my network browsing with ftp doesn't sort by
|
||
|
|
time or size! -or- The remote system is a Windows server; why
|
||
|
|
don't I get sorts by time or size?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Windows' ftp has a minimal support for ls (ie. it doesn't
|
||
|
|
accept sorting options). It doesn't support the -F which
|
||
|
|
gives an explanatory character (ABC/ for "ABC is a directory").
|
||
|
|
Netrw then uses "dir" to get both its thin and long listings.
|
||
|
|
If you think your ftp does support a full-up ls, put the
|
||
|
|
following into your <.vimrc>: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_ftp_list_cmd = "ls -lF"
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_ftp_timelist_cmd= "ls -tlF"
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_ftp_sizelist_cmd= "ls -slF"
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, if you have cygwin on your Windows box, put
|
||
|
|
into your <.vimrc>: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_cygwin= 1
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
This problem also occurs when the remote system is Windows.
|
||
|
|
In this situation, the various g:netrw_ftp_[time|size]list_cmds
|
||
|
|
are as shown above, but the remote system will not correctly
|
||
|
|
modify its listing behavior.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*netrw-p3*
|
||
|
|
P3. I tried rcp://user@host/ (or protocol other than ftp) and netrw
|
||
|
|
used ssh! That wasn't what I asked for...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netrw has two methods for browsing remote directories: ssh
|
||
|
|
and ftp. Unless you specify ftp specifically, ssh is used.
|
||
|
|
When it comes time to do download a file (not just a directory
|
||
|
|
listing), netrw will use the given protocol to do so.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*netrw-p4*
|
||
|
|
P4. I would like long listings to be the default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Put the following statement into your |.vimrc|: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_liststyle= 1
|
||
|
|
<

P5. My times come up oddly in local browsing
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Does your system's strftime() accept the "%c" to yield dates
|
||
|
|
such as "Sun Apr 27 11:49:23 1997"? If not, do a
|
||
|
|
"man strftime" and find out what option should be used. Then
|
||
|
|
put it into your |.vimrc|: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_timefmt= "%X" (where X is the option)
|
||
|
|
<

|
*netrw-p6*
|

|
P6. I want my current directory to track my browsing.
|
||
|
|
How do I do that?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Put the following line in your |.vimrc|:
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_keepdir= 0
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|

*netrw-p7*
|
||

P7. I use Chinese (or other non-ascii) characters in my filenames, and
|
||
|
|
netrw (Explore, Sexplore, Hexplore, etc) doesn't display them!

I now see the problem. You code page is not 936, right? Vim
|
||
|
|
seems only able to open files with names that are valid in the
|
||
|
|
current code page, as are many other applications that do not
|
||
|
|
use the Unicode version of Windows APIs. This is an OS-related
|
||
|
|
issue. You should not have such problems when the system
|
||
|
|
locale uses UTF-8, such as modern Linux distros.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(...it is one more reason to recommend that people use utf-8!)

P8. I'm getting "ssh is not executable on your system" -- what do I
|
||
|
|
do?
|

|

|

|
(Dudley Fox) Most people I know use putty for windows ssh. It
|
||
|
|
is a free ssh/telnet application. You can read more about it
|
||
|
|
here:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Also:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(Marlin Unruh) This program also works for me. It's a single
|
||
|
|
executable, so he/she can copy it into the Windows\System32
|
||
|
|
folder and create a shortcut to it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(Dudley Fox) You might also wish to consider plink, as it
|
||
|
|
sounds most similar to what you are looking for. plink is an
|
||
|
|
application in the putty suite.

(Vissale Neang) Maybe you can try OpenSSH for windows, which
|
||
|
|
can be obtained from:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It doesn't need the full Cygwin package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(Antoine Mechelynck) For individual Unix-like programs needed
|
||
|
|
for work in a native-Windows environment, I recommend getting
|
||
|
|
them from the GnuWin32 project on sourceforge if it has them:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unlike Cygwin, which sets up a Unix-like virtual machine on
|
||
|
|
top of Windows, GnuWin32 is a rewrite of Unix utilities with
|
||
|
|
Windows system calls, and its programs works quite well in the
|
||
|
|
cmd.exe "Dos box".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(dave) Download WinSCP and use that to connect to the server.
|
||
|
|
In Preferences > Editors, set gvim as your editor:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Click "Add..."
|
||
|
|
- Set External Editor (adjust path as needed, include
|
||
|
|
the quotes and !.! at the end):
|
||
|
|
"c:\Program Files\Vim\vim70\gvim.exe" !.!
|
||
|
|
- Check that the filetype in the box below is
|
||
|
|
{asterisk}.{asterisk} (all files), or whatever types
|
||
|
|
you want (cec: change {asterisk} to * ; I had to
|
||
|
|
write it that way because otherwise the helptags
|
||
|
|
system thinks it's a tag)
|
||
|
|
- Make sure it's at the top of the listbox (click it,
|
||
|
|
then click "Up" if it's not)
|
||
|
|
If using the Norton Commander style, you just have to hit <F4>
|
||
|
|
to edit a file in a local copy of gvim.

(Ben Schmidt) I find the ssh included with cwRsync is
|
||
|
|
brilliant, and install cwRsync or cwRsyncServer on most
|
||
|
|
Windows systems I come across these days. I guess COPSSH,
|
||
|
|
packed by the same person, is probably even better for use as
|
||
|
|
just ssh on Windows, and probably includes sftp, etc. which I
|
||
|
|
suspect the cwRsync doesn't, though it might
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(cec) To make proper use of these suggestions above, you will
|
||
|
|
need to modify the following user-settable variables in your
|
||
|
|
.vimrc:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|g:netrw_ssh_cmd| |g:netrw_list_cmd| |g:netrw_mkdir_cmd|
|
||
|
|
|g:netrw_rm_cmd| |g:netrw_rmdir_cmd| |g:netrw_rmf_cmd|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first one (|g:netrw_ssh_cmd|) is the most important; most
|
||
|
|
of the others will use the string in g:netrw_ssh_cmd by
|
||
|
|
default.
|
||
|
|
*netrw-p9* *netrw-ml_get*
|
||
|
|
P9. I'm browsing, changing directory, and bang! ml_get errors
|
||
|
|
appear and I have to kill vim. Any way around this?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Normally netrw attempts to avoid writing swapfiles for
|
||
|
|
its temporary directory buffers. However, on some systems
|
||
|
|
this attempt appears to be causing ml_get errors to
|
||
|
|
appear. Please try setting |g:netrw_use_noswf| to 0
|
||
|
|
in your <.vimrc>: >
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_use_noswf= 0
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
*netrw-p10*
|
||
|
|
P10. I'm being pestered with "[something] is a directory" and
|
||
|
|
"Press ENTER or type command to continue" prompts...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "[something] is a directory" prompt is issued by Vim,
|
||
|
|
not by netrw, and there appears to be no way to work around
|
||
|
|
it. Coupled with the default cmdheight of 1, this message
|
||
|
|
causes the "Press ENTER..." prompt. So: read |hit-enter|;
|
||
|
|
I also suggest that you set your |'cmdheight'| to 2 (or more) in
|
||
|
|
your <.vimrc> file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*netrw-p11*
|
||
|
|
P11. I want to have two windows; a thin one on the left and my editing
|
||
|
|
window on the right. How may I accomplish this?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Put the following line in your <.vimrc>:
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_altv = 1
|
||
|
|
* Edit the current directory: :e .
|
||
|
|
* Select some file, press v
|
||
|
|
* Resize the windows as you wish (see |CTRL-W_<| and
|
||
|
|
|CTRL-W_>|). If you're using gvim, you can drag
|
||
|
|
the separating bar with your mouse.
|
||
|
|
* When you want a new file, use ctrl-w h to go back to the
|
||
|
|
netrw browser, select a file, then press P (see |CTRL-W_h|
|
||
|
|
and |netrw-P|). If you're using gvim, you can press
|
||
|
|
<leftmouse> in the browser window and then press the
|
||
|
|
<middlemouse> to select the file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*netrw-p12*
|
||
|
|
P12. My directory isn't sorting correctly, or unwanted letters are
|
||
|
|
appearing in the listed filenames, or things aren't lining
|
||
|
|
up properly in the wide listing, ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This may be due to an encoding problem. I myself usually use
|
||
|
|
utf-8, but really only use ascii (ie. bytes from 32-126).
|
||
|
|
Multibyte encodings use two (or more) bytes per character.
|
||
|
|
You may need to change |g:netrw_sepchr| and/or |g:netrw_xstrlen|.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*netrw-p13*
|
||
|
|
P13. I'm a Windows + putty + ssh user, and when I attempt to browse,
|
||
|
|
the directories are missing trailing "/"s so netrw treats them
|
||
|
|
as file transfers instead of as attempts to browse
|
||
|
|
subdirectories. How may I fix this?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(mikeyao) If you want to use vim via ssh and putty under Windows,
|
||
|
|
try combining the use of pscp/psftp with plink. pscp/psftp will
|
||
|
|
be used to connect and plink will be used to execute commands on
|
||
|
|
the server, for example: list files and directory using 'ls'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These are the settings I use to do this:
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
" list files, it's the key setting, if you haven't set,
|
||
|
|
" you will get a blank buffer
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_list_cmd = "plink HOSTNAME ls -Fa"
|
||
|
|
" if you haven't add putty directory in system path, you should
|
||
|
|
" specify scp/sftp command. For examples:
|
||
|
|
"let g:netrw_sftp_cmd = "d:\\dev\\putty\\PSFTP.exe"
|
||
|
|
"let g:netrw_scp_cmd = "d:\\dev\\putty\\PSCP.exe"

P14. I'd would like to speed up writes using Nwrite and scp/ssh
|
||
|
|
style connections. How? (Thomer M. Gil)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Try using ssh's ControlMaster and ControlPath (see the ssh_config
|
||
|
|
man page) to share multiple ssh connections over a single network
|
||
|
|
connection. That cuts out the cryptographic handshake on each
|
||
|
|
file write, sometimes speeding it up by an order of magnitude.

Add the following to your ~/.ssh/config: >

# you change "*" to the hostname you care about

ControlPath /tmp/%r@%h:%p

ssh -N host.domain.com

|
|
First, disable netrw's mapping with >
|
||
|
|
let g:netrw_mousemaps= 0
|
||
|
|
< and then create a netrw buffer only mapping in
|
||
|
|
$HOME/.vim/after/ftplugin/netrw.vim: >
|
||
|
|
nmap <buffer> <2-leftmouse> <CR>
|
||
|
|
< Note that setting g:netrw_mousemaps to zero will turn off
|
||
|
|
all netrw's mouse mappings, not just the <leftmouse> one.

11. Debugging Netrw Itself *netrw-debug* {{{1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The <netrw.vim> script is typically available as something like:
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
/usr/local/share/vim/vim7x/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim
|
||
|
|
/usr/local/share/vim/vim7x/autoload/netrw.vim

/usr/local/share/vim/vim6x/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim
|
||
|
|
/usr/local/share/vim/vim6x/autoload/netrw.vim
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
which is loaded automatically at startup (assuming :set nocp).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Get the <Decho.vim> script, available as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#DECHO
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=120
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It now comes as a "vimball"; if you're using vim 7.0 or earlier,
|
||
|
|
you'll need to update vimball, too. See
|
||
|
|
http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#VIMBALL
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Edit the <netrw.vim> file by typing: >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vim netrw.vim
|
||
|
|
:DechoOn
|
||
|
|
:wq
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
To restore to normal non-debugging behavior, re-edit <netrw.vim>
|
||
|
|
and type >
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vim netrw.vim
|
||
|
|
:DechoOff
|
||
|
|
:wq
|
||
|
|
<
|
||
|
|
This command, provided by <Decho.vim>, will comment out all
|
||
|
|
Decho-debugging statements (Dfunc(), Dret(), Decho(), Dredir()).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Then bring up vim and attempt to evoke the problem by doing a
|
||
|
|
transfer or doing some browsing. A set of messages should appear
|

concerning the steps that <netrw.vim> took in attempting to
|
||

|
read/write your file over the network in a separate tab.
|

|
||
|
|
easier target selection. (see |netrw-mt|)
|
||
|
|
* (Paul Domaskis) reported some problems with
|
||
|
|
moving/copying files under Windows' gvim
|
||
|
|
(ie. not cygwin). Fixed.
|
||
|
|
* (Paul Mueller) provided a patch to get
|
||
|
|
start and rundll working via |netrw-gx|
|
||
|
|
by bypassing the user's |'shellslash'| option.
|
||
|
|
v146: Oct 20, 2012 * (David Kotchan) reported that under Windows,
|
||
|
|
directories named with unusual characters
|
||
|
|
such as "#" or "$" were not being listed
|
||
|
|
properly.
|
||
|
|
* (Kenny Lee) reported that the buffer list
|
||
|
|
was being populated by netrw buffers.
|
||
|
|
Netrw will now |:bwipe| netrw buffers
|
||
|
|
upon editing a file if g:netrw_fastbrowse
|
||
|
|
is zero and its not in tree listing style.
|
||
|
|
* fixed a bug with s:NetrwInit() that
|
||
|
|
prevented initialization with |Lists| and
|
||
|
|
|Dictionaries|.
|
||
|
|
* |netrw-mu| now unmarks marked-file lists
|
||
|
|
v145: Apr 05, 2012 * moved some command from a g:netrw_local_...
|
||
|
|
format to g:netwr_local... format
|
||
|
|
* included some NOTE level messages about
|
||
|
|
commands that aren't executable
|
||
|
|
* |g:netrw_errorlvl| (default: NOTE=0)
|
||
|
|
option introduced
|
||
|
|
May 18, 2012 * (Ilya Dogolazky) a scenario where a
|
||
|
|
|g:netrw_fastbrowse| of zero did not
|
||
|
|
have a local directory refreshed fixed.
|
||
|
|
Jul 10, 2012 * (Donatas) |netrw-gb| wasn't working due
|
||
|
|
to an incorrectly used variable.
|
||
|
|
Aug 09, 2012 * (Bart Baker) netrw was doubling
|
||
|
|
of entries after a split.
|
||
|
|
* (code by Takahiro Yoshihara) implemented
|
||
|
|
|g:netrw_dynamic_maxfilenamelen|
|
||
|
|
Aug 31, 2012 * (Andrew Wong) netrw refresh overwriting
|
||
|
|
the yank buffer.
|
||
|
|
v144: Mar 12, 2012 * when |CTRL-W_s| or |CTRL-W_v| are used,
|
||
|
|
or their wincmd equivalents, on a netrw
|
||
|
|
buffer, the netrw's w: variables were
|
||
|
|
not copied over. Fixed.
|
||
|
|
Mar 13, 2012 * nbcd_curpos_{bufnr('%')} was commented
|
||
|
|
out, and was mistakenly used during
|
||
|
|
RestorePosn. Unfortunately, I'm not
|
||
|
|
sure why it was commented out, so this
|
||
|
|
"fix" may re-introduce an earlier problem.
|
||
|
|
Mar 21, 2012 * included s:rexposn internally to make
|
||
|
|
:Rex return the cursor to the same pos'n
|
||
|
|
upon restoration of netrw buffer
|
||
|
|
Mar 27, 2012 * (sjbesse) s:NetrwGetFile() needs to remove
|
||
|
|
"/" from the netrw buffer's usual |'isk'|
|
||
|
|
in order to allow "filetype detect" to work
|
||
|
|
properly for scripts.
|
||
|
|
v143: Jun 01, 2011 * |g:netrw_winsize| will accept a negative
|
||
|
|
number; the absolute value of it will then
|
||
|
|
be used to specify lines/columns instead of
|
||
|
|
a percentage.
|
||
|
|
Jul 05, 2011 * the "d" map now supports mkdir via ftp
|
||
|
|
See |netrw-d| and |g:netrw_remote_mkdir|
|
||
|
|
Jul 11, 2011 * Changed Explore!, Sexplore!, and Vexplore
|
||
|
|
to use a percentage of |winwidth()| instead
|
||
|
|
of a percentage of |winheight()|.
|
||
|
|
Jul 11, 2011 * included support for https://... I'm just
|
||
|
|
beginning to test this, however.
|
||
|
|
Aug 01, 2011 * changed RestoreOptions to also restore
|
||
|
|
cursor position in netrw buffers.
|
||
|
|
Aug 12, 2011 * added a note about "%" to the balloon
|
||
|
|
Aug 30, 2011 * if |g:netrw_nobeval| exists, then balloon
|
||
|
|
evaluation is suppressed.
|
||
|
|
Aug 31, 2011 * (Benjamin R Haskell) provided a patch that
|
||
|
|
implements non-standard port handling for
|
||
|
|
files opened via the remote browser.
|
||
|
|
Aug 31, 2011 * Fixed a **//pattern Explorer bug
|
||
|
|
Sep 15, 2011 * (reported by Francesco Campana) netrw
|
||
|
|
now permits the "@" to be part of the
|
||
|
|
user id (if there's an @ that appears
|
||
|
|
to the right).
|
||
|
|
Nov 21, 2011 * New option: |g:netrw_ftp_options|
|
||
|
|
Dec 07, 2011 * (James Sinclair) provided a fix handling
|
||
|
|
attempts to use a uid and password when
|
||
|
|
they weren't defined. This affected
|
||
|
|
NetWrite (NetRead already had that fix).
