A small plugin to fix netrw's mc and mm commands for netrw_keepdir=1. E.g.:

**error** (netrw) tried using g:netrw_localcopycmd<cp>; it doesn't work!

Written in vimscript, so works for both vim and neovim.

Atm, netrw's mc and mm commands don't work properly when netrw_keepdir=1 because under the hood they require either correct lcd every time or keepdir_dir=0.

All the internet advises to just set keepdir_dir=0 and be happy, or manually lcd and be happy. This is the Vim way™ baby. But this may not be the case for all users and interferes with other plugin defaults or simply I want netrw not to crash and work properly.

On the other side, upstream fixes to netrw are extremely slow and may take years. And on a rainy day, I may open a PR to fix it properly and wait.

The only thing this plugin does is wrap mc and mm commands in a function that correctly prepends the correct current directory and restores it to the original directory afterward.

Just use whatever plugin manager you like or check the source and copy-paste it to your local config. But IMO, using a plugin manager is marginally better, as potentially there might be fixes.
