In this case you want to read section 2.1 "Global Commands" 3) learn how to use completion. Eg try Nerd or Nerd The command you tried does not exist. The error message you got is confusing though. 4) If you want to give many plugins a try use vim-addon-manager. Installing a plugin such as nerdtree can be done easily: :ActivateAddons The_NERD_tree Probably you'd like to use InstallAddon, review code, put name into your .vimrc. github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-manager. (last lines of doc/*.txt contains a script you can copy paste into your shell to install it) 5) Start using tags. Look them up using :h tag (in particular :tjump command) This is way faster than nerdtree for most cases. HTH Marc Weber
