Vim-netranger is a ranger-like system/cloud storage explorer for Vim/Neovim. It brings together the best of Vim, ranger, and rclone:

1. Against Vim (netrw):
   • Fancy rendering
   • Supports various cloud storages (via rclone)
2. Against ranger:
   • Native Vim key-binding rather than just mimicking Vim
3. Against rclone
   • Display/modify remote content without typing commands in terminal

Using vim-plug

Plug 'ipod825/vim-netranger'

Note: Other explorer plugins (e.g. NERDTree) might prohibit vim-netranger. You must disable them to make vim-netranger work.

1. vim & neovim

   • echo has('python3') should output 1
   • echo has('virtualedit') should output 1

2. rclone: v1.4.0(v1.3.9) or newer (1.4.0 not yet published, see Known Issues). rclone is needed if you use remote editing features. However, it will be installed automatically on the first time running NETRemoteList command.

1. When remote directory is empty, it will not be copied to remote. It is an rclone [bug] (rclone/rclone#1837), which is expected to be fixed in next release.
2. In some cases when listchars is set, vim-netranger buffer does not display correctly. For possible solutions, see the comment in this issue.
