Hello I recently come across some limitations when trying to customize Netrw to
my needs.
Basically due to the way the pluging is designed the public interface is quite
limited, most of the functions at local to the script and cant be called
outside it. There is a "public" function netrw#Call() to call to "private"
functions, but it only allow to call to functions with no arguments or
functions that accept a list as an argument, here is my question in vim_use
where I explain the problem:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vim_use/xWbzq1eXgjQ
So I have modified that function identify when the string has the function name
and arguments and execute it, allowing to pass anything to the function.
In my opinion is much more flexible than the current implementation, my patched
version is backwards compatible.
With the fix you can do things like:
call netrw#Call('NetrwBookHistHandler(5,expand("%"))')
Thanks
P
