I have been trying to figure out how to exit the file explorer in Vim.

:q works, but it closes Vim as well, not just the file browser.

Am I missing something or is this a bug?

The command :bd (delete current buffer) appears to close an active file explorer without closing Vim, even if the explorer is full-screen.
