Looks like the following browser option variables do the trick:
*g:netrw_liststyle*
Set the default listing style:
= 0: thin listing (one file per line)
= 1: long listing (one file per line with time
stamp information and file size)
= 2: wide listing (multiple files in columns)
= 3: tree style listing
*g:netrw_list_hide*
comma separated pattern list for hiding files
Patterns are regular expressions (see |regexp|)
Example: let g:netrw_list_hide= '.*\.swp$'
default: ""
This hid dot file & directories:
let g:netrw_list_hide= '.*\.swp$,.*/$'
However, these did not show the file details:
let g:netrw_liststyle=1
let g:netrw_liststyle= 1
Thanks if anyone can point out what might be wrong with my use of
g:netrw_liststyle.
