The command :Explore
opens the file explorer window.
Select a file or directory name and press Enter to open that file or directory.
To return to the explorer window, press Ctrl-^ (usually Ctrl-6).
You can also "edit" a directory to explore that directory. For example, :e ..
lists files in the parent directory.
Other approaches
In normal mode, type :e
then press Space and Ctrl-D. That will list file names in the current directory. You can type a name and press Enter to edit that file.
If, for example, you want a name that starts with "get" type :e get
then press Tab repeatedly, or Ctrl-D to list all matches.
Another possibility is to use a mapping like this:
map <F2> :!ls<CR>:e
