A plugin called NERDtree is quite popular, and is often used along with taglist.
I followed the advice of several people and activated the setting to put the taglist column on the right,
leaving room on the left for the column from NERDtree.
I also added a mapping to let the F4 key map to the :NERDTreeToggle command.
One follow says he binds this to the "t" key, which is a seldom used vim motion command.
Another fellow says:
"I put project.vim, taglist, and NERDTree on, , and , respectively."
Plugin 'nerdtree-ack' Plugin 'NERD_Tree-and-ack' Plugin 'FindInNERDTree' Plugin 'NERD_tree-Project' Plugin 'The-NERD-tree' Plugin 'The-NERD-Commenter'Nothing is just called NERDtree, but near as I can tell "The-NERD_tree" is what I want. This comes from vim.org. I use the Vundle searcher, then fall back on Google to try to figure out what all these darn things are. After this, I exit the editor and do an "ls .vimrc/bundle" to find out what this is called, then add the following to my .vimrc. I am ignoring these Ack augmented NERDtree things for now.
Plugin 'The-NERD-tree'Nowwhere do I find anything entitled (or functionally equivalent to) "how do I use this darn thing?". The FAQ suggests mapping Control-n to the nerd tree toggle (which is sort of logical, "n" for nerdtree).
mapI actually do both, but use nnoremap for both. Also, I add the following to put the taglist stuff on the right::NERDTreeToggle nnoremap :NERDTreeToggle
let Tlist_Use_Right_Window = 1Also note that there are switches available for both taglist and nerdtree so they will come up whenever vim is launched. With a large (24 inch) wide aspect display (like most folks have these days) there is plenty of room for both of these and an editing windown in the middle.
