If you want to open a new file in the same directory as the current file:
:e %:p:h/name-of-new-file.md
:e
for edit (opens a file)%:p:h
for the current directory and the head of the file name
If you want to save the current file under a new filename (“Save as”) in the same directory:
:sav %:p:h/name-of-new-file.md
If you want to delete a file, you can use !rm
. But that means that you have to know the exact path and file name.
Perhaps it’s easier to use a netrw or NerdTree.
Open netrw with :Explore
or one of the other commands like :Texplore
(opens up in a new tab)):
Navigate to the file you would like to delete and type D
.
Type %
to create a new file.
