When I enter Vim’s folder view I always enter trouble, as you can see here.
Is it possible to simply disable this folder View?
So that I never have to enter it again by accident.
And if so, how do I do that?
The “folder view” is provided by the netrw plugin (cp.
:help netrw-intro-browse) that is included in the default Vim installation. You can disable it by puttinginto your
~/.vimrcfile. However, your real problem is bad:autocmdsthat do not handle so-called scratch buffers (i.e. artificial buffers that do not correspond to an actual file, but are used to display plugin functionality). You’ll probably encounter similar problems with other plugins, too, so rather fix or remove those autocmds! Disabling netrw is just working around the problem.
