Question

I just started playing around with NERDtree and VIM and can\'t figure out how to make NERDtree NOT be the default window when it opens.

I\'d like to ope

Answer 1

Have you tried this?

" Start NERDTree
autocmd VimEnter * NERDTree
" Jump to the main window.
autocmd VimEnter * wincmd p

It seems to me, based on your .vimrc, that you are opening NERDTree. You just want to jump to the other window afterwards.

Answer 2

What you can do is just change the active pane.

autocmd VimEnter * wincmd w

This is the equivalent of hitting CTRL+W W, stick it in your .vimrc after where you call NERDTree and it'll stick you in the next pane on startup.
