Doesn’t iteroperate well with Netrw

That’s due to how the Netrw plugin works (which is what Vim uses to implement directory listings), unfortunately. In short, it puts its directory listing in a nameless hidden buffer. (You can check :ls vs :ls! to see what I’m talking about.) This is what ultimately drove me to write the readdir plugin. Trying to do it differently from Netrw then taught me why Netrw is written as it is – both approaches have their problems. I’m not sure what to do here really. I can’t tell everyone to install Readdir just to fix this, nor should they have to, nor would I recommend it to everyone any more. And in the end the UX is suboptimal either way. Kinda crappy situation.

Ok, thanks for the information about the issue. I can live with it, and I'll try readdir to see if that works for me.
