zeertzjq 6ecf226e44 vim-patch:6e46829: runtime(netrw): fix E471 in Neovim when g:netrw_chgwin is one past the last window (#40911)
Problem:  Opening a file from a netrw listing throws
          "E471: Argument required: keepj keepalt 2wincmd 1" when
          g:netrw_chgwin equals winnr('$')+1, e.g. after opening
          :Lexplore (which sets g:netrw_chgwin=2) and closing the
          sidebar, then browsing with :Explore in the remaining window.
          s:NetrwBrowseChgDir builds the window jump as
          "g:netrw_chgwin wincmd curwin", passing the saved window
          NUMBER where wincmd expects its single-letter argument.
Solution: Jump back to the saved window with "curwin wincmd w", as the
          surrounding comment intends; the following statement then
          performs the actual jump to g:netrw_chgwin.

The faulty line dates back to at least Vim 9.0
(runtime/autoload/netrw.vim:4976 at v9.0.0000).

Reported (against the since-archived netrw repo) in
saccarosium/netrw.vim#98 and neovim/neovim#34169.

Note: no test, because the error reproduces only in Neovim.

closes: vim/vim#20741

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:

See the Introduction wiki page and Roadmap for more information.

Features

See :help nvim-features for the full list, and :help news for noteworthy changes in the latest version!

Install from package

Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.

Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!

Install from source

See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.

The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install

To install to a non-default location:

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install

CMake hints for inspecting the build:

  • cmake --build build --target help lists all build targets.
  • build/CMakeCache.txt (or cmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.
  • build/compile_commands.json shows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.

Transitioning from Vim

See :help nvim-from-vim for instructions.
