I do something similar like this on windows. This executes a command on the current directory (when doing :pwd
in vim).
I do not know how to directly do this in Nerdtree but it is a start. Do keep in mind if you press cd
on a folder in Nerdtree the working directory automatically changes to the folder you are on so it is fairly quick.
Add following to your vimrc.
" Open current file in New Google Chrome window command Chrome :silent ! start chrome /new-window "%:p" " Open current file in Windows explorer command Explorer :silent ! start explorer "%:p:h"
Explanation:
- command Chrome => you can execute the command in vim by pressing :Chrome
- :silent => open the window without having to confirm in vim
- ! => this is where the command line command starts
- %:p:h => the current working directory, literally this means the path (:p) of current file (%), without the head (:h).
In your case it will be something like:
command Thunar :silent ! thunar "%:p"
