horizontally.

:Explore! is like :Explore, but will use vertical splitting.
*netrw-:Hexplore*
:Hexplore [dir] does an :Explore with |:belowright| horizontal splitting.
:Hexplore! [dir] does an :Explore with |:aboveleft| horizontal splitting.
*netrw-:Lexplore*
:[N]Lexplore [dir] toggles a full height Explorer window on the left hand side
of the current tab. It will open a netrw window on the current
directory if [dir] is omitted; a :Lexplore [dir] will show the
specified directory in the left-hand side browser display no matter
from which window the command is issued.
By default, :Lexplore will change an uninitialized |g:netrw_chgwin|
to 2; edits will thus preferentially be made in window#2.
The [N] specifies a |g:netrw_winsize| just for the new :Lexplore
window. That means that
if [N] < 0 : use |N| columns for the Lexplore window
if [N] = 0 : a normal split is made
if [N] > 0 : use N% of the current window will be used for the
new window
Those who like this method often also like tree style displays;
see |g:netrw_liststyle|.
:[N]Lexplore! [dir] is similar to :Lexplore, except that the full-height
Explorer window will open on the right hand side and an
uninitialized |g:netrw_chgwin| will be set to 1 (eg. edits will
preferentially occur in the leftmost window).

*netrw-:Sexplore*
:[N]Sexplore will always split the window before invoking the local-directory
browser. As with Explore, the splitting is normally done
horizontally.
:[N]Sexplore! [dir] is like :Sexplore, but the splitting will be done vertically.
*netrw-:Texplore*
:Texplore [dir] does a |:tabnew| before generating the browser window
*netrw-:Vexplore*
:[N]Vexplore [dir] does an :Explore with |:leftabove| vertical splitting.
:[N]Vexplore! [dir] does an :Explore with |:rightbelow| vertical splitting.
The optional parameters are:
[N]: This parameter will override |g:netrw_winsize| to specify the quantity of
rows and/or columns the new explorer window should have.
Otherwise, the |g:netrw_winsize| variable, if it has been specified by the
user, is used to control the quantity of rows and/or columns new
explorer windows should have.
[dir]: By default, these explorer commands use the current file's directory.
However, one may explicitly provide a directory (path) to use instead;
ie. >
:Explore /some/path
<
*netrw-:Rexplore*
:Rexplore This command is a little different from the other Explore commands
as it doesn't necessarily open an Explorer window.
Return to Explorer~
When one edits a file using netrw which can occur, for example,
when pressing <cr> while the cursor is atop a filename in a netrw
browser window, a :Rexplore issued while editing that file will
return the display to that of the last netrw browser display in
that window.
Return from Explorer~
Conversely, when one is editing a directory, issuing a :Rexplore
will return to editing the file that was last edited in that
window.
The <2-leftmouse> map (which is only available under gvim and
cooperative terms) does the same as :Rexplore.

EXPLORING WITH STARS AND PATTERNS {{{2
When Explore, Sexplore, Hexplore, or Vexplore are used with one of the
following four patterns Explore generates a list of files which satisfy the
request for the local file system. These exploration patterns will not work
with remote file browsing.
*/filepat files in current directory which satisfy filepat
**/filepat files in current directory or below which satisfy the
file pattern
*//pattern
