Netrw Default Functions

Main Netrw Functions

:h netrw-call | netrw-expose | netrw-modify

Three important netrw functions are: * Use netrw#Expose("varname") to access netrw-internal (script-local) variables.
Use netrw#Modify("varname",newvalue) to change netrw-internal variables.
Use netrw#Call("funcname"[,args]) to call a netrw-internal function with specified arguments.

These are especially useful when creating custom mappings for netrw (see ./usermaps.md)

Example: Get a copy of netrw's marked file list:

let netrwmarkfilelist= netrw#Expose("netrwmarkfilelist")

Example: Modify the value of netrw's marked file list:

call netrw#Modify("netrwmarkfilelist",[])

Example: Clear netrw's marked file list via a mapping on gu:

fun! ExampleUserMap(islocal)
    call netrw#Modify("netrwmarkfilelist",[])
    call netrw#Modify('netrwmarkfilemtch_{bufnr("%")}',"")
    let retval= ["refresh"]
    return retval
endfun
let g:Netrw_UserMaps= [["gu","ExampleUserMap"]]
