Edit the README file
Two key changes were made: 1. A screenshot was added for visual appeal. 2. The massive (and noisy) feature list was removed. This information is adequately covered in the docs. Fixes #573.

Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
The NERD tree allows you to explore your filesystem and to open files and
|
||||
directories. It presents the filesystem to you in the form of a tree which you
|
||||
manipulate with the keyboard and/or mouse. It also allows you to perform
|
||||
simple filesystem operations.
|
||||
The NERDTree is a file system explorer for the Vim editor. Using this plugin,
|
||||
you can visually browse complex directory hierarchies, quickly open files for
|
||||
reading or editing, and perform basic file system operations. This plugin can
|
||||
also be extended with custom mappings using a special API. The details of this
|
||||
API and other NERDTree features is described in the included documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
The following features and functionality are provided by the NERD tree:
|
||||
|
||||
* Files and directories are displayed in a hierarchical tree structure
|
||||
* Different highlighting is provided for the following types of nodes:
|
||||
* files
|
||||
* directories
|
||||
* sym-links
|
||||
* windows .lnk files
|
||||
* read-only files
|
||||
* executable files
|
||||
* Many (customisable) mappings are provided to manipulate the tree:
|
||||
* Mappings to open/close/explore directory nodes
|
||||
* Mappings to open files in new/existing windows/tabs
|
||||
* Mappings to change the current root of the tree
|
||||
* Mappings to navigate around the tree
|
||||
* ...
|
||||
* Directories and files can be bookmarked.
|
||||
* Most NERD tree navigation can also be done with the mouse
|
||||
* Filtering of tree content (can be toggled at runtime)
|
||||
* custom file filters to prevent e.g. vim backup files being displayed
|
||||
* optional displaying of hidden files (. files)
|
||||
* files can be "turned off" so that only directories are displayed
|
||||
* The position and size of the NERD tree window can be customised
|
||||
* The order in which the nodes in the tree are listed can be customised.
|
||||
* A model of your filesystem is created/maintained as you explore it. This
|
||||
has several advantages:
|
||||
* All filesystem information is cached and is only re-read on demand
|
||||
* If you revisit a part of the tree that you left earlier in your
|
||||
session, the directory nodes will be opened/closed as you left them
|
||||
* The script remembers the cursor position and window position in the NERD
|
||||
tree so you can toggle it off (or just close the tree window) and then
|
||||
reopen it (with NERDTreeToggle) the NERD tree window will appear exactly
|
||||
as you left it
|
||||
* You can have a separate NERD tree for each tab, share trees across tabs,
|
||||
or a mix of both.
|
||||
* By default the script overrides the default file browser (netrw), so if
|
||||
you :edit a directory a (slightly modified) NERD tree will appear in the
|
||||
current window
|
||||
* A programmable menu system is provided (simulates right clicking on a node)
|
||||
* one default menu plugin is provided to perform basic filesystem
|
||||
operations (create/delete/move/copy files/directories)
|
||||
* There's an API for adding your own keymappings
