Is it possible to have 2 Nerd Trees in same view in vim

I am using vim 7.3 and the NERDTree 4.1 plugin.

I have been trying to get 2 NERDTrees to appear in the same tab but can't find how to do it so I am on the verge of calling it a day.

Just wondered if anyone new if it was possible and if so how?

Solution

  • Hmm, I don't think that's possible, at least I don't know any solution. NERDTree window is positioned in a screen-wise way, even if you open another window and toggle the Tree it will affect the single one.

    I have been searching the help, but the closest topic I found is about window positioning. It says nothing about multiple windows, but suggests that one exclusive NERDTree window will be present on screen:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             'NERDTreeWinPos'
Values: "left" or "right"
Default: "left".

This option  is used  to determine  where NERD  tree window  is placed  on the
screen.

This  option  makes  it  possible   to  use  two  different  explorer  plugins
simultaneously. For example, you could have  the taglist plugin on the left of
the window and the NERD tree on the right.
