map h and l to map a new root node

[fabolous005]

Hi there, i am used to cfiles, where i am able to naviagte between directories with vim keybinds. So i want the same functionality in NerdTree I tried this: nnoremap h :NERDTreeMapUpdir<CR> nnoremap l :NERDTree-C<CR> but it wont work. How is this possible? Best regards

try adding <CR> to the command

nnorenap I :NERDTree-C<CR>

It still wont work but i saw that you mapped a big i to :NERDTree-C but not to a small L which is what i want I tried using the exact same command you gave me "nnorenap I :NERDTree-C<CR>", but I as well as l or h would still not give the expected result. Big i (I) will show hidden files and with h and l i am able to move like normal vim binds

sorry for the error, later today I'll be trying again

ok so I found out in my old configs how to proper do exactly what you want. instead of remapping, you should set a variable like this:

let NERDTreeMapChangeRoot='l' let NERDTreeMapUpdir='h'
