vim and NERD Tree extension - adding a file
nerdtree, vim
Solution
Activate the NERDTree and navigate to the directory in which the new file should live. Then press m to bring up the NERDTree Filesystem Menu and choose a for "add child node". Then simply enter the file's (or directory's name) and you're done.
Problem
When using the vim editor with the NERDTree plugin to navigate through the tree of your project, is there an easy way to create a new source code file under the currently highlighted directory? Currently I go into my shell, add the file and then refresh the tree. There must be a better way.
