Re: Use :bdel to close directory listing?

Hi,

since this is still really annoying me, I have to ask again, if there is
*any* solution.

Unfortunately, this does not work. No matter how often I type ":bd",
":bd!", ":bn", ":bw", ... nothing happens.
(VIM 8.2, netrw v168)

Example:

- directory structure:

./dir/
./dir/subfile
./file

- vim *

Result:
- vim shows the "dir"-directory-listing, and there is no way to (a) delete
the buffer or (b) switch to the next buffer with :bd/:bn.
- :n switches to the next buffer, but does not cycle/wrap-around.
- The *only* way to close the directory-listing, is:
- :buffers
- look for the buffer-numer
- :bdel <num>
- :bn
In earlier vim-versions, :bdel was enough.

So, is there *any* way to solve this, so that :bdel (or some other command)
closes the directory listing and switches to the next buffer?
(Or maybe a way to prevent "vim *" to open directory listings at all?)


Thanks,
Roland
