I'm a recent convert to NERDTree having used NETRW for many years. I'm struggling to know how to specify where the buffer will be placed in a split.

  • Sometimes I want to open the split vertically:
    • New buffer on the right (:Vex! with NETRW).
    • New buffer on the left (:Vex with NETRW).
  • Sometimes I want to open the split horizontally
    • New buffer on top ( :Sex with NETRW).
    • New buffer on top ( :Hex with NETRW).

Is there some equivalent with NERDTree? I can open things in a vertical split (s) or in a horizontal split (i), but it seems that I can't lways predict where the new buffer is going to be.

  • Nice find @D.BenKnoble I should stick to using NETRW if I want the functionality – jlconlin Dec 23 '18 at 05:00
