netrw is a built-in plugin of vim, which is a file explorer. Using it by using command :Ve, or type :h netrw for more info

some personal modifications and bug fixes

display file/dir full path under cursor
fixed s:NetrwTreeDir()'s bugs of moving cursor around after calling it
create file in current cursor folder with key c, if file is under current file, create file with the same parent fold of it
auto change director when move cursor between different folder
enhance preview with <CR>, always open file in preview window with <CR>
auto change netrw cursor position to indicate current file (location) with switch g:netrw_indicate_current_file, default value is 1
fix bug of messing up register @* and @+, which affect the system clipboard
map 'yp' to copy full path in netrw list of the file under cursor

tagbar

fixed bugs when use tagbar with netrw, make tagbar process content window
markdown support
hilight whole tag line (maybe a switch can be added whether this function is enabled)

statusline/tabline

file path: plugin/statusline.vim

make statusline change color locally when mode changes
tabline will change as statusline changes color (mode stimulated)

findchar

enhance f, F, ; and , keys to case-insensitive when option ignorecase is on

markdown

fold contents with the same heading levels automatically

align markdown table with ranged based command :Table

that is

select markdown tables
input :Table, with which :'<,'>Table will appear

example:

  before:

  	header1|header2|header3
  	-----|-----|-----
  	aaa|b\|bb|cc
  	dd|eeeee|ffffff

  after:

  	header1|header2|header3
  	-----  |-----  |-----
  	aaa    |b\|bb  |cc
  	dd     |eeeee  |ffffff

  note: this plugin has capability with '\|', skips escaped '|'

code/text format

file path: .vim/plugin/align.vim

as previous, align with given character is supported with ranged command Align

:Table is actually alias of :Align

example:

orignal text:

  int a = 10;
  int aa = 100;
  int aaa = 1000;
  int aaaa = 10000;
  int aaaaa = 100000;

select it and use command :'<,'>Align =

  int a     = 10;
  int aa    = 100;
  int aaa   = 1000;
  int aaaa  = 10000;
  int aaaaa = 100000;

select it and use command :'<,'>Align ;

  int a = 10        ;
  int aa = 100      ;
  int aaa = 1000    ;
  int aaaa = 10000  ;
  int aaaaa = 100000;

note: this function is very insteresting, use your imagination!!!
