FAQ

Got error message like Error detected while processing function 177[2]..178[22]..181[7]..144[9]..142[36]..238[4]..NERDTreeGitStatusRefreshListener[2]..NERDTreeGitStatusRefresh: line 6: E484: Can't open file /tmp/vZEZ6gM/1 while nerdtree opening in fish, how to resolve this problem?

This was because that vim couldn't execute system function in fish. Add set shell=sh in your vimrc.

This issue has been fixed.

How to config custom symbols?

Use this variable to change symbols.

let g:NERDTreeGitStatusWithFlags = 1
let g:NERDTreeIndicatorMapCustom = {
    \ "Modified"  : "✹",
    \ "Staged"    : "✚",
    \ "Untracked" : "✭",
    \ "Renamed"   : "➜",
    \ "Unmerged"  : "═",
    \ "Deleted"   : "✖",
    \ "Dirty"     : "✗",
    \ "Clean"     : "✔︎",
    \ 'Ignored'   : '☒',
    \ "Unknown"   : "?"
    \ }

How to enable and customize file colors?

Use this variable to change colors. (It will use the colors for guifg) Note: git ignored status is disabled by default, see below how to enable.

let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFolderNodes = 1
let g:NERDTreeGitStatusNodeColorization = 1
let g:NERDTreeColorMapCustom = {
    \ "Modified"  : "#528AB3",  
    \ "Staged"    : "#538B54",  
    \ "Untracked" : "#BE5849",  
    \ "Dirty"     : "#299999",  
    \ "Clean"     : "#87939A",   
    \ "Ignored"   : "#808080"   
    \ }                         

If you need more complex color solution the following custom mapping could be used

let g:NERDTreeColorMapCustom = {
    \ "Modified"  : ["#528AB3", "NONE", "NONE", "NONE"],  
    \ "Staged"    : ["#538B54", "NONE", "NONE", "NONE"],  
    \ "Untracked" : ["#BE5849", "NONE", "NONE", "NONE"],  
    \ "Dirty"     : ["#299999", "NONE", "NONE", "NONE"],  
    \ "Clean"     : ["#87939A", "NONE", "NONE", "NONE"]   
    \ "Ignored"   : ["#808080", "NONE", "NONE", "NONE"]   
    \ }

The mapping array is the following [guifg, ctermfg, guibg, ctermbg] Note: I you want to omit some value you must provide "NONE" as value

Want to disable the flags or the colors? Just set:

let g:NERDTreeGitStatusNodeColorization = 0 OR let g:NERDTreeGitStatusWithFlags = 1

How to show ignored status?

let g:NERDTreeShowIgnoredStatus = 1 (a heavy feature may cost much more time)
