When I open a directory in vim it places the cursor at line 1, which is a banner, and then normally I have to go down a few lines before selecting a file. Is there any way to have netrw windows start out with the cursor at the first file?

See :help g:netrw_banner.

Letting let g:netrw_banner = 0 will hide it, press I in netrw to bring it back if you need it.

  • Is there a way to keep the banner and also position the cursor at first file? – Jake Oct 12 '16 at 21:30

    Actually, now that I've checked it, my vim places the cursor beneath the banner by default (tested on an minimal profile which simply sets `nocompatible` and `filetype plugin on`). Did you mean the first file as opposed to a directory or simply beneath the banner? Which version of vim are you using? – dkasak Oct 12 '16 at 21:59
  • I'm using version 7.4.52 on OSX netrw version 150. And I tried replacing my .vimrc with only those two commands and still cursor position is at top of banner not the first file. – Jake Oct 12 '16 at 22:17
