No need to switch to an inferior editor. ;-) Vim has this functionality built right in: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/pi_netrw.html#netrw http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/pi_netrw.html#netrw However, as said above, for me Tramp/netrw are kludges that tend to add more problems than they solve. A real solution can't be constrained to a particular editor.
