Since the behavior you're asking for is the default netrw behavior, the
problem is: what in your setup is causing this behavior?

To verify this, try making a file called simple.vimrc with the following
contents:

set nocp
filetype plugin indent on


then use

vim -u simple.vimrc somefile
<c-w>v
:e .
(pick a file via netrw and press <cr> with the cursor atop some file)

I'm getting the file opened in the current netrw file explorer window as
you requested -- do you?
