" Tag jumping:
" Create the `tags` file (may need to install ctags first)
"command! MakeTags !ctags -R .
" Now we can:
" - Use ^] to jump to tag under cursor
" - Use g^] for ambiguous tags
" - Use ^t to jump back up the tag stack
" Autocomplete:
" The good stuff is documented in |ins-completion|
" - ^x^n for JUST this file
" - ^x^f for filenames (works with our path trick!)
" - ^x^] for tags only
" - ^n for anything specified by the 'complete' option
" Now we can:
" - Use ^n and ^p to go back and forth in the suggestion list

" File browsing:
let g:netrw_banner=0        " disable annoying banner
let g:netrw_browse_split=4  " open in prior window
let g:netrw_altv=1          " open splits to the right
let g:netrw_liststyle=3     " tree view
let g:netrw_list_hide=netrw_gitignore#Hide()
let g:netrw_list_hide.=',\(^\|\s\s\)\zs\.\S\+'
" - :edit a folder to open a file browser
" - <CR>/v/t to open in an h-split/v-split/tab
" - check |netrw-browse-maps| for more mappings

" Snippets:
" Read an empty HTML template and move cursor to title
