When I open netrw and choose a file, it opens in a new buffer. This means that if I do b% to go to previously opened buffer I will go back to netrw, rather then the file I was editing before.
How can I change this behaviour so I can either open new file in netrw's buffer or close the buffer that I used for file opening?
There is the option for netrw g:netrw_altfile
Here is the helptext
some like |CTRL-^| to return to the last
edited file. Choose that by setting this
parameter to 1.
Others like |CTRL-^| to return to the
netrw browsing buffer. Choose that by setting
this parameter to 0.
default: =0
If you want to close the netrw buffer after opening a file, you will need to write some vim script I think, there are some examples online but I haven't seen one I would recommend.
