I use Vim from this ppahttp://ppa.launchpad.net/jonathonf/vim/ubuntuwhich includes netrw v156How can I update to a newer netrw--> Do I have to remove netrw installed--> Can I simply install a newer netrw in .vim/plugins and this will take precedence over the system-wide one?
Update netrw to newer version
netrw
Newrw is distributed as a Vimball. After you download the new version, move netrw.vba.gz to ~/.vim. Then open it with vim, e.g.,$ vim netrw.vba.gzYou will see this message at the bottom of the screen:***vimball*** Source this file to extract it! (:so %)Execute :so % and the plugin files will be extracted into the autoload, doc, plugin and syntax subdirectories of your ~/.vim directory. The next time you start Vim, it will automatically use the new version of netrw. You don't have to do anything with old version of netrw.
