Vinegar also hides a bunch of junk that's normally at the top of netrw windows, changes the default order of files, and hides files that match wildignore.
With vinegar, . in netrw opens Vim's command line with the path to the file under the cursor at the end of the command. ! does the same but also prepends ! at the start of the command. y. copies the absolute path of the file under the cursor. ~ goes to your home dir. Ctrl+6 goes back to the file (buffer) that you had open before you opened netrw.
