entering netrw commands (or ¿what is {cnt} in netrw help?)


I'm puzzled with netrw. I want to go to a bookmark, and the help file says I can type {cnt}bm . I must be dumb, but I dont get it. :bm, {cnt}bm neither work. GVim on windows shows me a netrw menu in wich I can select 'Go to bookmark' and it works, but I want to use a keyboard shortcut. Ty for your help.


Solution

  • You seem very confused indeed.

    The command for jumping to a bookmark is {cnt}gb (not {cnt}bm) in which {cnt} is a bookmark number. In normal mode:

    gb     " jump to latest bookmark
    2gb    " jump to bookmark number 2
    

    You can see a list of bookmarks and their numbers with qb.
