How to sort files like `sort` does using the vim's netrw file browser? -

I would like to sort my files like this:

  abc.c Makefile readme. Txt  

But the netrw file browser sorts them in this way (using the empty sequence sequence):

  Makefile abc.c readme.txt < / Code> 

How can I fix this?

It would be good to jump to the file / directory by typing BTW, the first few letters of its name. Is this possible?

netrw can actually sort case insensitive (which I think is what you want): Put the following in your ~ / .vimrc :

  let's go: netrw_sort_options = "i"  

Listing is a plain-vime buffer, you can find entries through the default / search command. If you want a solution that filters the list of candidates you typed, you need a different plugin like FuzzyFinder or Command-T .
