How to sort files like `sort` does using the vim's netrw file browser?
netrw, vim
Solution
netrw indeed can do case-insensitive sorting (which I suppose is what you want): Put the following into your `~/.vimrc`:
let g:netrw_sort_options = "i"
As the netrw file listing is a plain Vim buffer, you can quickly locate entries via the default `/` search command. If you want a solution that filters the list of candidates as you type, you need a different plugin like FuzzyFinder or Command-T.
Problem
I would like to have my files sorted this way: ``` abc.c Makefile readme.txt ``` but the netrw file browser sorts them like this (using empty sort sequence): ``` Makefile abc.c readme.txt ``` How do I fix that? BTW, it would also be nice to jump to file/directory by typing the first few letters of it's name. Is that possible?
