nerdtree and current directory

Question

How can I achieve this situation?

1. Open vim in my home folder.
2. Navigate somewhere with NERDTree
3. Run the :!ls command and see the contents of the directory in that NERDTree is displaying

Solution

Try :help NERDTreeChDirMode. Setting it to 2 will do what you want.

i got it thanks! but to be complete (i'm not a vim guru) the answer will include also ":helptags ~/.vim/doc" to get docs aviable and "let g:NERDTreeChDirMode=2" in .vimrc
