The NERD tree plugin is designed to provide a streamlined way of navigating the file system through a tree explorer.
NERD tree is a powerful tree explorer plugin designed for people who need navigation assistance for accessing their filesystem. This tool allows users to completely explore their filesystem and open both files and directories with ease. It presents the filesystem in the form of a tree, which is easy to manipulate using either the keyboard or the mouse. Additionally, NERD tree has basic filesystem operations that facilitate simple and easy modification of the tree structure.
One of the best features of the NERD tree is its hierarchical representation of files and directories. It provides different highlighting for different types of nodes, such as files, directories, labels, Windows .lnk files, and read-only files. Moreover, the tool has customizable mappings that enable users to open, close, and explore directory nodes, files in new and existing windows and tabs, and navigate around the tree.
NERD tree offers a wealth of features for the users, including dynamic customization of tree content, custom file filters that restrict the annoyance of vim backup files being displayed, optional display of hidden files, and textual filesystem menu that permits users to create directories and delete, create or rename file nodes. The tool window's size and position can be customized, and users can use it as a separate NERD tree for each tab.
Finally, NERD tree creates and maintains a model of the filesystem as users explore it. All file system information is cached and is only reread on demand. If you revisit a part of the tree that you left earlier in your session, the directory nodes will be opened or closed as you left them. Furthermore, the software remembers your cursor position and window position in NERD tree so you can toggle it off, and it will reappear exactly as you left it when reopening it with NERDTreeToggle.
Overall, NERD tree is an efficient, customizable, dynamic and user-friendly software tool for navigating through the filesystem. Vim users will highly appreciate its design and functionality. All you need to install NERD tree is to unzip the archive into your ~/. Vim directory and then run helptags. For further information and usage instructions or help, users can go to the NERD_tree.txt page.
