I'm a little confused by the netrw documentation on the Explore command variants. In particular, I don't understand how Sexplore (split & explore) differs from Hexplore / how Sexplore! differs from Vexplore.

The behavior of those commands is explained in the following help sections:

:help netrw-:Hexplore
:help netrw-:Sexplore
:help netrw-:Vexplore

The difference between :Sexplore and :Hexplore[!] is that the former respects your splitbelow and splitright settings while the latter ignores them.

Same story for :Sexplore! which respects your settings, and :Vexplore[!] which doesn't.

  • Thanks, this is helpful. I think the help sections on those probably could have been written more clearly. – Kvass Feb 26 '17 at 11:15
