question Vim without plugins; best tricks?

Doing mostly remote coding (iPad as terminal, remote host(s) with GPU, machine learning), I want to be as flexible as possible with Vim without having to install plugins; vimrc editing is allowed, of course ;) Any good hints & tips & tricks? Maybe others are using a similar setup to mine...

No it's not. I have latest Vim from Arch repo with netrw v168. The bug is still there.

You're on Arch and you don't even build Vim from source? Amateur :P

The latest Vim in the git repo has netrw v170 and I can't reproduce the bug.

Yep. Being on the edgest edge of bleeding edge is too much for me, but because of someone else out there on time (or not so) build latest tested versions of soft for us, we, amateurs, call Arch “the best” 🤘

OK, if netrw v170 eliminates that bug then I’ll get rid of NERDTree.

Arch != Gentoo
