By default cursor will be in the editor window when the file is open up, which is good, but how can i get back to netRw window after finish editing so I can choose or open other files?

Answer 1

Yes, you can do <C-w>h or <C-w><Left> to move to the left window or <C-w>p to move to the previous window or <C-w>w to cycle between windows.

See :help window-move-cursor.

Answer 2

You could use the following four maps and the shift-up, etc arrow keys to change windows. Place these in your .vimrc file.

nmap <s-down>  <c-w>j
nmap <s-up>    <c-w>k
nmap <s-left>  <c-w>h
nmap <s-right> <c-w>l
