I have removed NerdTree for netrw and have most all of the same functionality. The 2 that I am missing I really would like to have if it is possible while in the filesystem.
If I was to have these 2 I would have exactly the same as I had with NerdTree, only wanting to use netrw because I would know it is on all machines that I would work with without having to have NerdTree.
Thank you for your help

netrw - the unloved directory browser The netrw plugin normally ships with vim and is the default filebrowser. It gets a bad rap and ships with all kinds of features likes remote editing over SSH and FTP, and anecdotally has many bugs.
The command :Explore opens the file explorer window. Select a file or directory name and press Enter to open that file or directory. (For example :e /home/user displays the contents of that directory.) To return to the explorer window, press Ctrl-^ (usually Ctrl-6).
To launch netrw: Run vim with a directory as the command-line argument. :edit path/to/a/directory Enter (or :e <path/to/a/directory )
Mark the file you want to copy:
mf
Mark its target directory:
mt
Copy the file:
mc
It looks like copying a directory isn't possible in my version.
