The editor returns to normal only if I resize the terminal window.

My system config

NERDTree Config

  • nmap <Leader>nt :NERDTreeFind<CR>
  • let NERDTreeQuitOnOpen=1
  • let NERDTreeShowHidden=1
  • let g:NERDTreeDirArrowExpandable = '▸'
  • let g:NERDTreeDirArrowCollapsible = '▾'
  • let g:NERDTreeIgnore = ['^node_modules$']

    This problem remains relevant. To restore the window size, you can try these shortcuts:

    • Ctrl+w _
    • Ctrl+w |
    • Ctrl+w =

    You can set cmdheight to 2 to solve the problem.
    Add the following line into your .vimrc

    set cmdheight=2

    This is caused by an incompatibility between NERDTree and Vim 9.0.

    You can fix it by applying this hotfix to your local copy of NERDTree.

    Some alternatives:

    • Add let g:NERDTreeMinimalMenu=1 to your .vimrc to set menu to display in a single line
    • Use a version of Vim earlier than the 9.0 release

    See issue #1321 in the NERDTree repo for more info.
