Mappings don't seem to work

[rr-]

1. Open a file
2. :Dirvish
3. Dirvish opens up
4. :set ft? prints dirvish
5. ...and yet, pressing <CR>, i etc. works as if it was a plain buffer.

I tried removing all the plugins and bindings. The issue persists in Neovim and Vim alike.
Using vim-plug.

Manually setting setf dirvish on unrelated buffers does conceal absolute paths into relative ones so it works to certain extent, but the bindings are missing there too.

Tested with:

rr-@tornado$ cat .testrc
call plug#begin()
Plug 'justinmk/vim-dirvish'
call plug#end()
rr-@tornado$ nvim -u .testrc

:PlugStatus shows only vim-dirvish.

Can't reproduce this with neither Neovim (v0.1.5-565-gb463fb9) nor Vim (7.4.1967) and latest Dirvish and Plug.

Is it important to open a file first? (I tested with and without, though.)

No, it's just as if ftplugin/dirvish.vim wasn't ever loaded.

And :filetype says "plugin" is on?

That was it, I had to explicitly enable it with filetype plugin on. Curiously it didn't also work on empty vimrc as shown above; I thought it was on by default?...
Anyway, thanks.

In neovim it is enabled by default since 0.1.4, if your init.vim and plugins don't set it to something else during startup.
