NERD tree For Linux

NERD tree is a tree explorer plugin for navigating the filesystem.

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 so you can alter the tree dynamically.

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

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

Here are some key features of "NERD tree":

� Most NERD tree navigation can also be done with the mouse � Dynamic customisation of tree content � 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 � textual filesystem menu is provided which allows you to create new directory nodes and create/delete/rename file nodes � 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

Requirements:

� Vim

� Unzip the archive into your ~/.vim directory. � Run :helptags. � Go :help NERD_tree.txt for the help page.
