Intro *NERDTree* - -What is this "NERD tree"?? - -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. - -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 - * executable 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 - * ... - * Directories and files can be bookmarked. - * Most NERD tree navigation can also be done with the mouse - * Filtering of tree content (can be toggled at runtime) - * 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 - * A textual filesystem menu is provided which allows you to - create/delete/move file and directory nodes as well as copy (for - supported OSs) - * 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, share trees across tabs, - or a mix of both. - * By default the script overrides the default file browser (netw), so if - you :edit a directory a (slighly modified) NERD tree will appear in the - current window - -============================================================================== -2. Functionality provided *NERDTreeFunctionality* - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -2.1. Global Commands *NERDTreeGlobalCommands* - -:NERDTree [<start-directory> | <bookmark>] *:NERDTree* - Opens a fresh NERD tree. The root of the tree depends on the argument - given. There are 3 cases: If no argument is given, the current directory - will be used. If a directory is given, that will be used. If a bookmark - name is given, the corresponding directory will be used. For example: > - :NERDTree /home/marty/vim7/src - :NERDTree foo (foo is the name of a bookmark) -< -:NERDTreeFromBookmark <bookmark> *:NERDTreeFromBookmark* - Opens a fresh NERD tree with the root initialized to the dir for - <bookmark>. This only reason to use this command over :NERDTree is for - the completion (which is for bookmarks rather than directories). - -:NERDTreeToggle [<start-directory> | <bookmark>] *:NERDTreeToggle* - If a NERD tree already exists for this tab, it is reopened and rendered - again. If no NERD tree exists for this tab then this command acts the - same as the |:NERDTree| command. - -:NERDTreeMirror *:NERDTreeMirror* - Shares an existing NERD tree, from another tab, in the current tab. - Changes made to one tree are reflected in both as they are actually the - same buffer. - - If only one other NERD tree exists, that tree is automatically mirrored. If - more than one exists, the script will ask which tree to mirror. - -:NERDTreeClose *:NERDTreeClose* - Close the NERD tree in this tab. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -2.2. Bookmarks *NERDTreeBookmarks* - -Bookmarks in the NERD tree are a way to tag files or directories of interest. -For example, you could use bookmarks to tag all of your project directories. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -2.2.1. The Bookmark Table *NERDTreeBookmarkTable* - -If the bookmark table is active (see |NERDTree-B| and -|'NERDTreeShowBookmarks'|), it will be rendered above the tree. You can double -click bookmarks or use the |NERDTree-o| mapping to activate them. See also, -|NERDTree-t| and |NERDTree-T| - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -2.2.2. Bookmark commands *NERDTreeBookmarkCommands* - -Note that the following commands are only available in the NERD tree buffer. - -:Bookmark <name> - Bookmark the current node as <name>. If there is already a <name> - bookmark, it is overwritten. <name> must not contain spaces. - -:BookmarkToRoot <bookmark> - Make the directory corresponding to <bookmark> the new root. If a treenode - corresponding to <bookmark> is already cached somewhere in the tree then - the current tree will be used, otherwise a fresh tree will be opened. - Note that if <bookmark> points to a file then its parent will be used - instead. - -:RevealBookmark <bookmark> - If the node is cached under the current root then it will be revealed - (i.e. directory nodes above it will be opened) and the cursor will be - placed on it. - -:OpenBookmark <bookmark> - <bookmark> must point to a file. The file is opened as though |NERDTree-o| - was applied. If the node is cached under the current root then it will be - revealed and the cursor will be placed on it. - -:ClearBookmarks [<bookmarks>] - Remove all the given bookmarks. If no bookmarks are given then remove all - bookmarks on the current node. - -:ClearAllBookmarks - Remove all bookmarks. - -:ReadBookmarks - Re-read the bookmarks in the |'NERDTreeBookmarksFile'|. - -See also |:NERDTree| and |:NERDTreeFromBookmark|. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -2.2.3. Invalid Bookmarks *NERDTreeInvalidBookmarks* - -If invalid bookmarks are detected, the script will issue an error message and -the invalid bookmarks will become unavailable for use. - -These bookmarks will still be stored in the bookmarks file (see -|'NERDTreeBookmarksFile'|), down the bottom. There will always be a blank line -after the valid bookmarks but before the invalid ones. - -Each line in the bookmarks file represents one bookmark. The proper format is: -<bookmark name><space><full path to the bookmark location> - -After you have corrected any invalid bookmarks, either restart vim, or go -:ReadBookmarks from the NERD tree window. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -2.3.

The filesystem menu *NERDTreeFilesysMenu* - -The purpose of the filesystem menu is to allow you to perform basic filesystem -operations quickly from the NERD tree rather than the console. - -The filesystem menu can be accessed with 'm' mapping and has four supported -operations: > - 1. Adding nodes. - 2. Move nodes. - 3. Deleting nodes. - 3. Copying nodes. -< -1. Adding nodes: -To add a node move the cursor onto (or anywhere inside) the directory you wish -to create the new node inside. Select the 'add node' option from the -filesystem menu and type a filename. If the filename you type ends with a '/' -character then a directory will be created. Once the operation is completed, -the cursor is placed on the new node. - -2. Move nodes: -To move/rename a node, put the cursor on it and select the 'move' option from -the filesystem menu. Enter the new location for the node and it will be -moved. If the old file is open in a buffer, you will be asked if you wish to -delete that buffer. Once the operation is complete the cursor will be placed -on the renamed node. - -3. Deleting nodes: -To delete a node put the cursor on it and select the 'delete' option from the -filesystem menu. After confirmation the node will be deleted. If a file is -deleted but still exists as a buffer you will be given the option to delete -that buffer. - -4. Copying nodes: -To copy a node put the cursor on it and select the 'copy' option from the -filesystem menu. Enter the new location and you're done. Note: copying is -currently only supported for *nix operating systems. If someone knows a -one line copying command for windows that doesnt require user confirmation -then id be grateful if you'd email me. - -============================================================================== -3. Customisation *NERDTreeOptions* - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -3.1. Customisation summary *NERDTreeOptionSummary* - -The script provides the following options that can customise the behaviour the -NERD tree. These options should be set in your vimrc. - -|'loaded_nerd_tree'| Turns off the script. - -|'NERDChristmasTree'| Tells the NERD tree to make itself colourful - and pretty. - -|'NERDTreeAutoCenter'| Controls whether the NERD tree window centers - when the cursor moves within a specified - distance to the top/bottom of the window. -|'NERDTreeAutoCenterThreshold'| Controls the sensitivity of autocentering. - -|'NERDTreeCaseSensitiveSort'| Tells the NERD tree whether to be case - sensitive or not when sorting nodes. - -|'NERDTreeChDirMode'| Tells the NERD tree if/when it should change - vim's current working directory. - -|'NERDTreeHighlightCursorline'| Tell the NERD tree whether to highlight the - current cursor line. - -|'NERDTreeHijackNetrw'| Tell the NERD tree whether to replace the netrw - autocommands for exploring local directories. - -|'NERDTreeIgnore'| Tells the NERD tree which files to ignore. - -|'NERDTreeBookmarksFile'| Where the bookmarks are stored. - -|'NERDTreeMouseMode'| Tells the NERD tree how to handle mouse - clicks. - -|'NERDTreeQuitOnOpen'| Closes the tree window after opening a file. - -|'NERDTreeShowBookmarks'| Tells the NERD tree whether to display the - bookmarks table on startup. - -|'NERDTreeShowFiles'| Tells the NERD tree whether to display files - in the tree on startup. - -|'NERDTreeShowHidden'| Tells the NERD tree whether to display hidden - files on startup. - -|'NERDTreeShowLineNumbers'| Tells the NERD tree whether to display line - numbers in the tree window. - -|'NERDTreeSortOrder'| Tell the NERD tree how to sort the nodes in - the tree. - -|'NERDTreeWinPos'| Tells the script where to put the NERD tree - window. - -|'NERDTreeWinSize'| Sets the window size when the NERD tree is - opened. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -3.2. Customisation details *NERDTreeOptionDetails* - -To enable any of the below options you should put the given line in your -~/.vimrc - - *'loaded_nerd_tree'* -If this plugin is making you feel homicidal, it may be a good idea to turn it -off with this line in your vimrc: > - let loaded_nerd_tree=1 -< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDChristmasTree'* -Values: 0 or 1. -Default: 1. - -If this option is set to 1 then some extra syntax highlighting elements are -added to the nerd tree to make it more colourful. - -Set it to 0 for a more vanilla looking tree. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeAutoCenter'* -Values: 0 or 1. -Default: 1 - -If set to 1, the NERD tree window will center around the cursor if it moves to -within |'NERDTreeAutoCenterThreshold'| lines of the top/bottom of the window. - -This is ONLY done in response to tree navigation mappings, -i.e. |NERDTree-J| |NERDTree-K| |NERDTree-C-J| |NERDTree-c-K| |NERDTree-p| -|NERDTree-P| - -The centering is done with a |zz| operation. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeAutoCenterThreshold'* -Values: Any natural number. -Default: 3 - -This option controls the "sensitivity" of the NERD tree auto centering. See -|'NERDTreeAutoCenter'| for details. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeCaseSensitiveSort'* -Values: 0 or 1. -Default: 0. - -By default the NERD tree does not sort nodes case sensitively, i.e. nodes -could appear like this: > - bar.c - Baz.c - blarg.c - boner.c - Foo.c -< -But, if you set this option to 1 then the case of the nodes will be taken into -account. The above nodes would then be sorted like this: > - Baz.c - Foo.c - bar.c - blarg.c - boner.c -< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeChDirMode'* - -Values: 0, 1 or 2. -Default: 0. - -Use this option to tell the script when (if at all) to change the current -working directory (CWD) for vim. - -If it is set to 0 then the CWD is never changed by the NERD tree. - -If set to 1 then the CWD is changed when the NERD tree is first loaded to the -directory it is initialized in. For example, if you start the NERD tree with > - :NERDTree /home/marty/foobar -< -then the CWD will be changed to /home/marty/foobar and will not be changed -again unless you init another NERD tree with a similar command. - -If the option is set to 2 then it behaves the same as if set to 1 except that -the CWD is changed whenever the tree root is changed. For example, if the CWD -is /home/marty/foobar and you make the node for /home/marty/foobar/baz the new -root then the CWD will become /home/marty/foobar/baz. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeHighlightCursorline'* -Values: 0 or 1. -Default: 1. - -If set to 1, the current cursor line in the NERD tree buffer will be -highlighted. This is done using the |cursorline| option. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeHijackNetrw'* -Values: 0 or 1. -Default: 1. - -If set to 1, doing a > - :edit <some directory> -< -will open up a "secondary" NERD tree instead of a netrw in the target window. - -Secondary NERD trees behaves slighly different from a regular trees in the -following respects: - 1. 'o' will open the selected file in the same window as the tree, - replacing it. - 2. you can have as many secondary tree as you want in the same tab. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeIgnore'* -Values: a list of regular expressions. -Default: ['\~$']. - -This option is used to specify which files the NERD tree should ignore. It -must be a list of regular expressions. When the NERD tree is rendered, any -files/dirs that match any of the regex's in 'NERDTreeIgnore' wont be -displayed. - -For example if you put the following line in your vimrc: > - let NERDTreeIgnore=['\.vim$', '\~$'] -< -then all files ending in .vim or ~ will be ignored. - -Note: to tell the NERD tree not to ignore any files you must use the following -line: > - let NERDTreeIgnore=[] -< - -The file filters can be turned on and off dynamically with the |NERDTree-f| -mapping. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeBookmarksFile'* -Values: a path -Default: $HOME/.NERDTreeBookmarks - -This is where bookmarks are saved. See |NERDTreeBookmarkCommands|. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeMouseMode'* -Values: 1, 2 or 3. -Default: 1. - -If set to 1 then a double click on a node is required to open it. -If set to 2 then a single click will open directory nodes, while a double -click will still be required for file nodes. -If set to 3 then a single click will open any node. - -Note: a double click anywhere on a line that a tree node is on will -activate it, but all single-click activations must be done on name of the node -itself. For example, if you have the following node: > - | | |-application.rb -< -then (to single click activate it) you must click somewhere in -'application.rb'. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeQuitOnOpen'* - -Values: 0 or 1. -Default: 0 - -If set to 1, the NERD tree window will close after opening a file with the -|NERDTree-o| or |NERDTree-i| mappings. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeShowBookmarks'* -Values: 0 or 1. -Default: 0. - -If this option is set to 1 then the bookmarks table will be displayed. - -This option can be toggled dynamically, per tree, with the |NERDTree-B| -mapping. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeShowFiles'* -Values: 0 or 1. -Default: 1. - -If this option is set to 1 then files are displayed in the NERD tree. If it is -set to 0 then only directories are displayed. - -This option can be toggled dynamically, per tree, with the |NERDTree-F| -mapping and is useful for drastically shrinking the tree when you are -navigating to a different part of the tree. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeShowHidden'* -Values: 0 or 1. -Default: 0. - -This option tells vim whether to display hidden files by default. This option -can be dynamically toggled, per tree, with the |NERDTree-I| mapping. Use one -of the follow lines to set this option: > - let NERDTreeShowHidden=0 - let NERDTreeShowHidden=1 -< - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeShowLineNumbers'* -Values: 0 or 1. -Default: 0. - -This option tells vim whether to display line numbers for the NERD tree -window. Use one of the follow lines to set this option: > - let NERDTreeShowLineNumbers=0 - let NERDTreeShowLineNumbers=1 -< - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeSortOrder'* -Values: a list of regular expressions. -Default: ['\/$', '*', '\.swp$', '\.bak$', '\~$'] - -This option is set to a list of regular expressions which are used to -specify the order of nodes under their parent. - -For example, if the option is set to: > - ['\.vim$', '\.c$', '\.h$', '*', 'foobar'] -< -then all .vim files will be placed at the top, followed by all .c files then -all .h files. All files containing the string 'foobar' will be placed at the -end. The star is a special flag: it tells the script that every node that -doesnt match any of the other regexps should be placed here. - -If no star is present in 'NERDTreeSortOrder' then one is automatically -appended to the array. - -The regex '\/$' should be used to match directory nodes. - -After this sorting is done, the files in each group are sorted alphabetically. - -Other examples: > - (1) ['*', '\/$'] - (2) [] - (3) ['\/$', '\.rb$', '\.php$', '*', '\.swp$', '\.bak$', '\~$'] -< -1. Directories will appear last, everything else will appear above. -2. Everything will simply appear in alphabetical order. -3. Dirs will appear first, then ruby and php. Swap files, bak files and vim - backup files will appear last with everything else preceding them. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeWinPos'* -Values: "left" or "right" -Default: "left". - -This option is used to determine where NERD tree window is placed on the -screen. - -This option is makes it possible to use two different explorer type -plugins simultaneously. For example, you could have the taglist plugin on the -left of the window and the NERD tree on the right. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *'NERDTreeWinSize'* -Values: a positive integer. -Default: 31. - -This option is used to change the size of the NERD tree when it is loaded. - -============================================================================== -4. Hacking the NERD tree *NERDTreeHacking* - -Public functions ~ - -The script provides 2 public functions for your hacking pleasure. Their -signatures are: > - function! NERDTreeGetCurrentNode() - function! NERDTreeGetCurrentPath() -< -The first returns the node object that the cursor is currently on, while the -second returns the corresponding path object. - -This is probably a good time to mention that the script implements prototype -style OO. To see the functions that each class provides you can read look at -the code. - -Use the node objects to manipulate the structure of the tree. Use the path -objects to access the files/directories the tree nodes represent. - -The NERD tree filetype ~ - -NERD tree buffers have a filetype of "nerdtree". You can use this to hack the -NERD tree via autocommands (on |FileType|) or via an ftplugin. - -For example, putting this code in ~/.vim/ftplugin/nerdtree.vim would override -the o mapping, making it open the selected node in a new gvim instance. > - - nnoremap <silent> <buffer> o :call <sid>openInNewVimInstance()<cr> - function! s:openInNewVimInstance() - let p = NERDTreeGetCurrentPath() - if p != {} - silent exec "!gvim " . p.strForOS(1) . "&" - endif - endfunction -< -This way you can add new mappings or :commands or override any existing -mapping. - -============================================================================== -5. TODO list *NERDTreeTodo* - -Window manager integration? - -============================================================================== -6. The Author *NERDTreeAuthor* - -The author of the NERD tree is a terrible terrible monster called Martyzilla -who gobbles up small children with milk and sugar for breakfast. - -He can be reached at martin_grenfell at msn.com. He would love to hear from -you, so feel free to send him suggestions and/or comments about this plugin. -Don't be shy --- the worst he can do is slaughter you and stuff you in the -fridge for later ;) - -============================================================================== -7. Changelog *NERDTreeChangelog* - -3.0.0 - - hijack netrw so that doing an :edit <directory> will put a NERD tree in - the window rather than a netrw browser. See :help 'NERDTreeHijackNetrw' - - allow sharing of trees across tabs, see :help :NERDTreeMirror - - remove "top" and "bottom" as valid settings for NERDTreeWinPos - - change the '<tab>' mapping to 'i' - - change the 'H' mapping to 'I' - - lots of refactoring - -2.14.3 - Thanks to tpope for the following: - - use relative paths when doing edit commands if possible (useful if you - have %f on your statusline for example) - - allow relative paths for :NERDTree commands, eg ":NERDTree ../foo" - - fix a bug where the script used the directory of the current buffer - instead of vims cwd for the :NERDTree command - - bugfix for read only node highlighting - -2.14.2 - - when opening a file (with 'o' or double click) dont split the window - unless we absolutely have to. This should make the script work better - with other explorer plugins. Thanks to Ryan Penn, Simon Peter Nicholls - and Michael - - fix a bug where directories starting with a '+' char could not be opened. - Thanks to Tomasz Chomiuk. - - fix a bug where closing vim with :qa with a tree open in another tab - would break, thanks to Denis Pokataev. - - compatibility bugfix for older versions of vim, thanks to knekk for - helping me track it down and to Sean Chou. - -2.14.1 - - dont clobber &cpo. Thanks to godlygeek for the bug report. - -2.14.0 - - fix a bug where the <c-w>o mapping would cause the tree window to be - incorrectly sized when reopened. - - add keymapping to delete bookmarks from the bookmarks table, see - :help NERDTree-D - - lots of refactoring -2.13.0 - - make NERDTreeChDir option default to 0 (i.e. never change vims current - working dir by default) - - when moving/deleting nodes with the filesystem menu, move/delete any - associated bookmarks - - make the t/T on directory nodes open a fresh NERD tree for the selected - dir in a new tab, rather than a netrw. - - place the cursor at the top of the bookmarks table when opening it with B - - make NERDTreeQuitOnOpen option work with the g<tab> and go mappings, - thanks to Maxim Kim for the bug report - - change how invalid bookmarks are handled. Now they are not deleted. If a - bookmark is malformed (in the bookmarks file) or points to an - invalid/nonexisting location then print an error and place the offending - bookmarks at the bottom of the bookmarks file. See :help - |NERDTreeInvalidBookmarks| for info. Thanks to Zhang Shuhan for the - suggestion and the testing. - - fix a bug with the 'o' mapping that occurred when opening a new buffer - for a file whose name was a substring of an already open file. Thanks to - Charlton Wang for the report. - - stop the script from going into an infinite loop when it tries to cache - a named pipe. Thanks to Charlton Wang for the report. - -2.12.0 - - added a UI for bookmarks. See :help NERDTreeBookmarkTable for details. - Thanks to Zhang Shuhan for testing and bug reports. - - relaxed the restrictions on bookmark names, now the only restriction is - that they cant contain spaces. This allows for e.g. Chinese bookmark - names. Thanks to Zhang Shuhan for the suggestion. - - combined the NERDTreeWinPos and NERDTreeSplitVertical options. See :help - NERDTreeWinPos. - - applied a patch from Matan Nassau to add the NERDTreeQuitOnOpen option - which closes the tree window after opening a file. See :help - NERDTreeQuitOnOpen. - - optimised the nerd tree rendering. Now it takes just over 1/3 of the - time it previously took to render. - - now the tree filter mappings toggle the filters "per tree" rather than - globally. The global filter variables are used to set the initial filter - settings for each new NERD tree. - - fix to window resizing when opening a file when NERD tree is the only - window open - - other fixes - -2.11.0 - - changes to the 'o' mapping when opening files: - - dont clobber "special" windows (eg taglist/quickfix/etc). This should - make the NERD tree play nicer with other explorer plugins. Thanks to - Yuan Jiang for the suggestion. - - if the file is already open in the current tab, just move the cursor - to that window - - highlight executable files, made some slight changes to other - highlighting - - if the user resizes the tree window, keep that new size. Dont reset to - the default during the <tab> mapping, or :NERDTreeToggle command. Only - reset the size if a fresh tree is started with :NERDTree. - - remove the "magic" functionality from the <c-j>/<c-k> mappings (it was - more confusing than helpful) - - other minor fixes - -2.10.0 - - added bookmarks, see :help NERDTreeBookmarkCommands for details. Thanks - to Piotr Czachur for all his testing and suggestions. - - fixed screen jumping bug with when &scrolloff != 0 - - fixed some bugs with copying nodes - - other random fixes - - change license to wtfpl - -2.9.0 - - - path handling improvements, thanks to Zhang Shuhan for heaps of - testing/bug reports - * improved how paths are stored, now the script will no longer get - confused about drives on MF Windows - * made the script way better at handling paths with strange characters - in them (eg '$@; etc) - - applied a patch from Cory Echols - * add the command :NERDTreeClose to close the tree for the current tab - * set the filetype for the NERD tree buffer to "nerdtree" - -2.8.0 - - added an option to enable/disable line numbers in the NERD tree window, - thanks to Olivier Yiptong for the email. - -2.7.1 - - Changed the keys for the filesystem menu to be mnemonic rather than - arbitrary integers - - Documented the copying functionality in the filesystem menu - -2.7.0 - - Bug fix: Now when you have the tree on the right and you open it with - multiple windows stacked, it will take up the full height of the vim - window. - - Now line numbers always turned off in the tree by default - - Implemented copying of nodes (via the filesystem menu) for *nix/macosx - - took the help doc out of the script and repackaged the whole thing as a - zip - -2.6.2 - - Now when you try to open a file node into a window that is modified, the - window is not split if the &hidden option is set. Thanks to Niels Aan - de Brugh for this suggestion. - -2.6.1 - - Fixed a major bug with the <tab> mapping. Thanks to Zhang Weiwu for - emailing me. - -2.6.0 - - Extended the behaviour of <c-j/k>. Now if the cursor is on a file node - and you use <c-j/k> the cursor will jump to its PARENTS next/previous - sibling. Go :help NERDTree-c-j and :help NERDTree-c-k for info. - - Extended the behaviour of the J/K mappings. Now if the cursor is on the - last child of a node and you push J/K it will jump down to the last - child of the next/prev of its parents siblings that is open and has - children. Go :help NERDTree-J and :help NERDTree-K for info. - - The goal of these changes is to make tree navigation faster. - - Reorganised the help page a bit. - - Removed the E mapping. - - bugfixes - -2.5.0 - - Added an option to enforce case sensitivity when sorting tree nodes. - Read :help NERDTreeCaseSensitiveSort for details. (thanks to Michael - Madsen for emailing me about this). Case sensitivity defaults to off. - - Made the script echo a "please wait" style message when opening large - directories. Thanks to AOYAMA Shotaro for this suggestion. - - Added 2 public functions that can be used to retrieve the treenode and - path that the cursor is on. Read :help NERDTreePublicFunctions for - details (thanks again to AOYAMA Shotaro for the idea :). - - added 2 new mappings for file nodes: "g<tab>" and "go". These are the - same as the "<tab>" and "o" maps except that the cursor stays in the - NERDTree. Note: these maps are slaved to the o and <tab> mappings, so if - eg you remap "<tab>" to "i" then the "g<tab>" map will also be changed - to "gi". - - Renamed many of the help tags to be simpler. - - Simplified the ascii "graphics" for the filesystem menu - - Fixed bugs. - - Probably created bugs. - - Refactoring. - -2.4.0 - - Added the P mapping to jump to the tree root. - - Added window centering functionality that can be triggered when doing - using any of the tree nav mappings. Essentially, if the cursor comes - within a certain distance of the top/bottom of the window then a zz is - done in the window. Two related options were added: NERDTreeAutoCenter - to turn this functionality on/off, and NERDTreeAutoCenterThreshold to - control how close the cursor has to be to the window edge to trigger the - centering. - -2.3.0 - - Tree navigation changes: - - Added J and K mappings to jump to last/first child of the current dir. - Options to customise these mappings have also been added. - - Remapped the jump to next/prev sibling commands to be <C-j> and <C-k> - by default. - These changes should hopefully make tree navigation mappings easier to - remember and use as the j and k keys are simply reused 3 times (twice - with modifier keys). - - - Made it so that, when any of the tree filters are toggled, the cursor - stays with the selected node (or goes to its parent/grandparent/... if - that node is no longer visible) - - Fixed an error in the doc for the mouse mode option. - - Made the quickhelp correctly display the current single/double click - mappings for opening nodes as specified by the NERDTreeMouseMode option. - - Fixed a bug where the script was spazzing after prompting you to delete - a modified buffer when using the filesystem menu. - - Refactoring -2.2.3 - - Refactored the :echo output from the script. - - Fixed some minor typos in the doc. - - Made some minor changes to the output of the 'Tree filtering mappings' - part of the quickhelp - -2.2.2 - - More bugfixes... doh. - -2.2.1 - - Bug fix that was causing an exception when closing the nerd tree. Thanks - to Tim carey-smith and Yu Jun for pointing this out. - -2.2.0 - - Now 'cursorline' is set in the NERD tree buffer by default. See :help - NERDTreeHighlightCursorline for how to disable it. - -2.1.2 - - Stopped the script from clobbering the 1,2,3 .. 9 registers. - - Made it "silent!"ly delete buffers when renaming/deleting file nodes. - - Minor correction to the doc - - Fixed a bug when refreshing that was occurring when the node you - refreshed had been deleted externally. - - Fixed a bug that was occurring when you open a file that is already open - and modified. - -2.1.1 - - Added a bit more info about the buffers you are prompted to delete when - renaming/deleting nodes from the filesystem menu that are already loaded - into buffers. - - Refactoring and bugfixes - -2.1.0 - - Finally removed the blank line that always appears at the top of the - NERDTree buffer - - Added NERDTreeMouseMode option. If set to 1, then a double click is - required to activate all nodes, if set to 2 then a single click will - activate directory nodes, if set to 3 then a single click will activate - all nodes. - - Now if you delete a file node and have it open in a buffer you are given - the option to delete that buffer as well. Similarly if you rename a file - you are given the option to delete any buffers containing the old file - (if any exist) - - When you rename or create a node, the cursor is now put on the new node, - this makes it easy immediately edit the new file. - - Fixed a bug with the ! mapping that was occurring on windows with paths - containing spaces. - - Made all the mappings customisable. See |NERD_tree-mappings| for - details. A side effect is that a lot of the "double mappings" have - disappeared. E.g 'o' is now the key that is used to activate a node, - <CR> is no longer mapped to the same. - - Made the script echo warnings in some places rather than standard echos - - Insane amounts of refactoring all over the place. - -2.0.0 - - Added two new NERDChristmasTree decorations. First person to spot them - and email me gets a free copy of the NERDTree. - - Made it so that when you jump around the tree (with the p, s and S - mappings) it is counted as a jump by vim. This means if you, eg, push - 'p' one too many times then you can go `` or ctrl-o. - - Added a new option called NERDTreeSortOrder which takes an array of - regexs and is used to determine the order that the treenodes are listed - in. Go :help NERDTreeSortOrder for details. - - Removed the NERDTreeSortDirs option because it is consumed by - NERDTreeSortOrder - - Added the 'i' mapping which is the same as <tab> but requires less - effort to reach. - - Added the ! mapping which is used to execute file in the tree (after it - prompts you for arguments etc) - - -============================================================================== -8.
