This is an annoying little bug in Vim when using the remote browsing capabilities of netrw.
Its annoying because I have to press enter to continue! Thankfully there is a quick workaround that sort of works:
:set ch=2
That gives the vim console enough room to display two "--No lines in buffer--" errors without asking the user to continue.
There has got to be a way to silence this! I tried:
silent! g:netrw_scp_cmd
and:
let g:netrw_silent = 1 let g:netrw_use_noswf= 0
with no luck. I also tried disabling all my other plugins, but that didn't work either.
