It sounds like you want "o" (lowercase-oh), used to open the file
under the cursor in a new window.
:help netrw-o
Though I agree that your Ctrl+W and gF are reasonable
expectations...I myself used them diminishingly for the 2-3
months it took me to finally wire my brain to use "o". :)

I don't know of any built-in single-command to do it. However,
you can either map a command to do it:
:nnoremap <f4> :w<cr>:bd<cr>
or you can fiddle with the 'bufhidden' option:
:set bufhidden=delete
and then just use ":wq" as normal.
