Duplicate of #45

@Iron-E didn't we have a netrw entry in the Known Issues section of the readme?

romgrk commented 1 year ago

Wait no it's not #45, but we have an issue around for the netrw bug.

82 is where you'll find more info. Summary: netrw is low quality plugin that has bugs, you shouldn't use it and we won't support it. I think there is a workaround somewhere in #82 if you insist on using it though.

I use this one, I recommend it: https://github.com/justinmk/vim-dirvish

That particular issue in the README was about :BufferNext/:BufferPrevious which was fixed in #369 so I removed that notice. This is a different issue it seems— we should add a more general notice about Netrw back

tl;dr: @sandeep-ad this is a bug with netrw. It doesn't properly report its own buffer with bufnr, so it is impossible for us to delete it. (try :bdelete <dir> with netrw, not even Vim's builtin functions work). Use any filetree plugin instead.

"Netrw sucks."
