I've tried; you'll find netrw has keepj commands all over the place.
I've determined the first place that a jump table change occurs; it was
associated with a put command (which already had a keepj associated with
it). I've swapped in a call setline() in its stead, accompanied by a
keepj. Unfortunately, the jump table still changes.

So I don't think I can change netrw to fix this. Unfortunately, when I
try doing the commands by hand, the jump table doesn't change, so I
can't submit a problem report.

In the interim, use

:Rex
