Vim - The file explorer

The "manipulating the filesystem" section was very helpful. Also, huge props for making a text version of the screencast.

That was excellent. I despise NERD tree but I also had no clue how to use netrw. Instead, my habit is to use the console to touch files I want created, or to create or remove directories, etc. This little screencast was quite enlightening and I'll be dropping that habit!

I use the Vim file explorer all the time. The only thing I miss is having a multi-column layout when I've got a directory with a lot of files.

A couple additional tips:

1) You can quickly and easily search through the files the same way you would search through code (regex included) with something like:

  /filename

2) You can easily jump into the Vim file explorer without the steps of opening Vim and executing a command:

  ~/vim .

This will simply open vim with the file explorer in the current directory.

But when I try to enlarge the fonts, it doesn't look any better.

Can we, as a community, please stop using px units in our CSS? I can't help but chuckle when opening a site in elinks in a terminal makes it look far better than it does in my browser.

To open a file in new tab just use 't' instead of Enter.
