hi, is there any key to display all file information(name,size,time...)? qf can only show current file's all information, not all current directory file.

This is amazing!! Thanks!

Thanks for this!

@kikaoki you can use "i" to cycle through view modes, one of which includes that information

Thanks！That really helps a lot!!!

Is it posssible to enable autoclose? I want the sidebar to close after I select the file to open.

I am a newbie of netrw. Can someone tell me how to switch the focus between windows and tabs? By using :Vex, I can see two windows, but I cannot do anything with the right Window. Similarly with t, opening a file in a new tab. I cannot switch back to older tabs anymore.

@chenjiayi8 try ctrl w and pressing an arrow key or h,j,k,l to switch to a different tab/window

thanks. very helpful

Thanks for sharing!!
