USECASE

The aim of this page 📝 is to explain how to duplicate a file in Vim using the netrw file explorer with the vim-vinegar plugin.
Spent way too much time, given that R is shorthand for renaming the file.

• Use vim-vinegar to enhance netrw usability.
• Press - to open netrw.
• Mark the file with mf.
• Copy the file with mc.
• Input the new file name and press Enter.
