* Introduce a flag to to sort by the node's modification time. This flag is part of the NERDTreeSortOrder list. '[[timestamp]]' sorts oldest to newest, while '[[-timestamp]]' sorts newest to oldest. Its position in the array determines whether it is the primary sort (first position) or secondary sort (any other position). The remaining elements in the array describe the other sort level following all prior rules. If needed, a tertiary sort is done alphabetically on the filename. Examples: ['[[timestamp]]'] - oldest to newest ['\/$','*','[[-timestamp]]'] - dirs, then files, each newest first. When using this flag, performance is slowed a little because the sortKey is always recalculated with every sort. Why? Because if a file is saved (either in vim or by an outside program), NERDTree needs to go back out to the shell to get the new modification time. * Update NERDTreeSortOrder documentation. The new `[[timestamp]]' and '[[-timestamp]]' flags are added to support sorting by modification time. * Fix the inequality. Must be >= to force recalculation of _sortKey. * Move `let path=` closer to where it's used. |

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
gitflags?
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 | 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.
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 = '▾'
