i'd like to confer about a deletion. i'm not sure how to best share it. the link is vi.stackexchange.com/a/12684/13098

@Carpetsmoker i'd like to get some clarification

in my view, my response directly responded to what the OP was looking for. his title doesn't quite match what he actually wants to do. he basically wants to replace netrw with ranger, but the plugin he's using doesn't offer that, so he's resorting to a workaround

either way, i came to the posting wanting the same thing and found a plugin that solved my problem (and what it seems the OP is trying to do). i don't really understanding the futility in deleting the post

it's easy to imagine others arriving at the post in the same situation and it's likely they would want the solution i posted

tldr; OP wants to open netrw with ranger, he found a plugin is missing that functionality in a certain situation and the rest of the discussion is focused on sort of work-around hacks to make that happen

oops, futility=utility above. either way, i'm not angry, just looking for clarification and how to better contribute in the future. i appreciate the work you guys do moderating

Say, anybody have any dies for further golfing this?

A: How do I exit Vim?

Vimscript, 45 41 bytes ec"q"|exe"/("|ec["q!","x"][getpid()%2] Shaved off 4 bytes by using getpid() to get a number. (Can anyone think of a shorter way to get a number that won't be the same everywhere, all the time?) Assuming +3 bytes for invoking Vim with -c to run the above script and - to ...
