QUESTION :
I’ve added the following useful settign to _vimrc:
map <F2> :NERDTreeToggle<CR>
If I open gvim and then press F2 NERDTree will open but in the directory Windows/system32 which takes a long time to cache.
Can I change the setting so that it opens in M:. I’ve used help: NERDTreeToggle and from the help I’ve tried the following but it doesn’t seem to work:
:NERDTreeToggle M:
Maybe I need another setting so that only on start-up NERDTree will automatically start and be visible and open at M: – is this possible?
ANSWER :
By default, NERDTree starts in the current working directory. You’ve probably started Vim through the installed Start Menu shortcut, which defaults to the system32 directory. (You can check from inside Vim with :pwd.)
I would recommend that you modify the shortcut that starts GVIM (gvim.lnk: right mouse button > Properties > Start in:) to start in M:. That’s probably a better default for starting Vim, and it also solves the NERDTree problem.
