Would be handy to have a way to duplicate a file, even though this wasn't part of netrw's original feature set.

Looks like Y won't conflict, and the UX should be the same as renaming a file, except it'll just copy the file, rather than move it.

Something like ranger, nnn, and others can do?
Ideally, I would save a location into a registed, and then I should be able to jump to this location by referring to that register (like vim bookmarks).

Fed up of not being able to do :e ~/some/dir and have it open netrw. Should add a vsnetrw command to that would prompt the user for a path and to go straight there.

Be great if it would autocomplete from the file system. No idea whether that's even possible.

Check what the built-in file explorer does to show changes to prevent needing to refresh manually when another process changes a dir on disk.

Would have thought the simplest thing would just be to watch the dir for changes and throw away the watcher when the explorer closes.

Reproduce by attempting to replace a character in normal mode (r) with a -.

Add the ability to delete a selection of files spanning multiple lines.

~ currently opens a vsnetrw explorer when pressed in a text editor. This shortcut should only be active when inside an explorer.

It'd be cool if the extension showed the current directory you were in at the top of the tree using the vscode breadcrumbs. It could be tied to the breadcrumbs setting in vscode so people that don't have breadcrumbs on wouldn't have to see it.

Like hidden files, use a grey colour for gitignored files. Related to #5 and #2

Either prevent renaming unsaved files, or try to carry unsaved changes across to the new file, instead of copying the version that is on disk.

When opening a directory that hasn't been opened yet, the line numbers flash for a very brief moment:

I've tested this on two machines (Windows and Mac). Also, using a clean config and disabling all other extensions does not change this behaviour.

Is that something others experience too?

When a file is chosen to be open, it would be nice to have the vsnetrw file tab to be closed.

Also it would be great to have an option to close the tab without open anything with ESC for example.
