Vim – Change current directory using nerdtree

How can I navigate to a file or folder in NERDTree and change the working directory to that folder (or the folder containining the file I’m on).

I know it’s possible to keep NERDTree in sync with the NERDTree root (nerdtree and current directory), but I’m looking for a macro or something that would change the folder without having any impact on NERDTree itself.

Solution:

You’re looking for the cd mapping. Type this inside the NERDTree sidebar, and the current directory will be changed to the current entry’s. See :help NERDTree-cd.
