| `p` | Preview the selected file or directory below and enable live cursor updates |
| `j` / `k` | Update an existing preview to the newly selected entry |
| `:pclose` / `<C-w>z` | Close the preview and stop live updates |

Regular files use netrw's native preview. Directories show a read-only summary of
their immediate children, including type, file size, modification time, and a
total for immediate files. Directories appear first, output is capped at 200
entries, and symbolic links are displayed without following them recursively.
Opening a file with `<CR>`, `o`, `v`, or `t`, or otherwise leaving netrw, closes
the preview. Closing it manually also disables live updates until `p` is pressed
again. Enhanced directory summaries apply to local paths (including local paths
when Neovim runs over SSH); netrw URI browsing retains its native preview
behavior.
