# Open The Directory Of The Current File
|
|
|
|
In one of my first TILs ever, [Head Of File
|
|
Name](https://github.com/jbranchaud/til/blob/master/vim/head-of-file-name.md),
|
|
I wrote about a fancy, archaic way of popping open a netrw view for the
|
|
directory of the current file. To this day, I still use it all the time when
|
|
I'm curious about the other files co-located with the file I'm editing.
|
|
|
|
There are a couple other ways to do this that arguably require less finger
|
|
gymnastics.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:Explore
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This has the same behavior `:e %:h` at the cost of a few extra (easier to
|
|
reach) keys.
|
|
|
|
There is also
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:Sex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
which opens it up in a split. And as you'd expect, you can also use `:Vex`
|
|
for a vertical split.
