NERD tree Overview

The NERD tree allows you to explore your filesystem and to open files and directories in Vim. 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 pos
