Tips

Binding shortcuts

Add the following configuration to .vimrc:

" NERDTree
map <C-n> :NERDTreeToggle<CR>
" map is the shortcut mapping command <C-n> defines the shortcut key, Ctrl-n.
" followed by the corresponding command and the enter key <CR>.

After reloading the .vimrc file, you can use <Ctrl-n> to open and close the directory tree.

Show hidden files

The NERDTree plugin does not show hidden files by default. There are two ways to view hidden files:

1. Press shift-i after opening the tree to show hidden files, press it again to close the hidden files display.

2. Add the setting let NERDTreeShowHidden=1 to .vimrc to show hidden files by default.
