Hide certain files in NERDTree

Question

I would like to hide object files (*.o) in the Vim NERDTree plugin. Does the plugin support this feature, yet?

Solution 1

You want to use the NERDTreeIgnore option, for example: let NERDTreeIgnore=['\.o$', '\~$']

Do :help NERDTreeIgnore for more information.

Solution 2

Hoping this might be helpful as per New NerdTree Documentation.

// put this in your .vimrc
set wildignore+=*.pyc,*.o,*.obj,*.svn,*.swp,*.class,*.hg,*.DS_Store,*.min.*

// Nerdtree config for wildignore
let NERDTreeRespectWildIgnore=1

Just to add you can use f to show/hide ignored files
