Netrw and other windows opened at the same time: no window toggling

Question

When I open a netrw window and any other window (:new or help window, for example) at the same time, I can't toggle between those two windows using <c-w><c-w> or any other keys. I can even open a new window with :new, and still only be able to toggle between all the windows except the netrw window. However, I can focus on netrw window if all the other windows are closed. Why is that, is it a proper behavior, and is there a way to have normal window toggling in such situation?

Answer 1

I believe it is not the proper behavior.

Check if you have any mappings that could cause interferences with :map <c-w>.

Check if it happens with the latest version of netrw (v147). If it still happens, you could try to gradually comment your .vimrc and remove your plugins and see if this problem stops.
