* Add an optional parameter to neredtree#exec to suppress all events. The value doesn't matter, but 1 is a good choice. Its presence is an indicator that tells NERDTree to tell Vim to ignore all events. I'm not yet sure if there needs to be an else section to that if block. It may be OK to allow all events to fire in the right situations. * Supress events in all intermediate nerdtree#exec calls. Finding all the right function calls is the key here. * Make ignoreAll a required parameter to nerdtree#exec(). * Put required ignoreAll argument (==0) in where it's now needed. * Ignore events when creating a new vertical split. * Ignore events when closing NERDTree. This may need to be reverted. * Remove debugging statment and commented-out code. * Wrap remaining buffer/window-switching commands in nerdtree#exec(). * Update version number. * Add a space between arguments in nerdtree#exec() calls. |

The NERDTree
Introduction
The NERDTree is a file system explorer for the Vim editor. Using this plugin, users 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 of other NERDTree features are described in the included documentation.
Installation
pathogen.vim
git clone https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree.git ~/.vim/bundle/nerdtree
Then reload Vim, run :helptags ~/.vim/bundle/nerdtree/doc/
or :Helptags
, and check out :help NERDTree.txt
.
apt-vim
apt-vim install -y https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree.git
F.A.Q.
Is there any support for
git
flags?
Yes, install nerdtree-git-plugin.
Can I have the nerdtree on every tab automatically?
Nope. If this is something you want then chances are you aren't using tabs and buffers as they were intended to be used. Read this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/102384/using-vims-tabs-like-buffers
If you are interested in this behaviour then consider vim-nerdtree-tabs
How can I open a NERDTree automatically when vim starts up?
Stick this in your vimrc: autocmd vimenter * NERDTree
How can I open a NERDTree automatically when vim starts up if no files were specified?
Stick this in your vimrc:
autocmd StdinReadPre * let s:std_in=1
autocmd VimEnter * if argc() == 0 && !exists("s:std_in") | NERDTree | endif
Note: Now start vim with plain vim
, not vim .
How can I open NERDTree automatically when vim starts up on opening a directory?
autocmd StdinReadPre * let s:std_in=1
autocmd VimEnter * if argc() == 1 && isdirectory(argv()[0]) && !exists("s:std_in") | exe 'NERDTree' argv()[0] | wincmd p | ene | exe 'cd '.argv()[0] | endif
This window is tab-specific, meaning it's used by all windows in the tab. This trick also prevents NERDTree from hiding when first selecting a file.
Note: Executing vim ~/some-directory
will open NERDTree and a new edit window. exe 'cd '.argv()[0]
sets the pwd
of the new edit window to ~/some-directory
How can I map a specific key or shortcut to open NERDTree?
Stick this in your vimrc to open NERDTree with Ctrl+n
(you can set whatever key you want):
map <C-n> :NERDTreeToggle<CR>
How can I close vim if the only window left open is a NERDTree?
Stick this in your vimrc:
autocmd bufenter * if (winnr("$") == 1 && exists("b:NERDTree") && b:NERDTree.isTabTree()) | q | endif
Can I have different highlighting for different file extensions?
See here: https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree/issues/433#issuecomment-92590696
How can I change default arrows?
Use these variables in your vimrc. Note that below are default arrow symbols
let g:NERDTreeDirArrowExpandable = '▸'
let g:NERDTreeDirArrowCollapsible = '▾'
