Nerdtree: How can I remove the slashes after each directory node?

[kutsan]

Colors and icons already explaining it's a directory. Having extra / for each one isn't looking good. Is there any way to remove those slashes?

[PhilRunninger]

The trailing slash is used in the syntax file to differentiate between directories and files when it comes to highlighting. Without digging into the code further, I think there are other areas where that trailing slash is important.

Another job for conceal. ><

I managed to solve this problem by doing this.

augroup nerdtreehidetirslashes
    autocmd!
    autocmd FileType nerdtree syntax match NERDTreeDirSlash #/$# containedin=NERDTreeDir conceal contained
augroup end

[kutsan]

Now it looks like, like this; much much better.

[PhilRunninger]

Awesome! For those who come across this in the future, note that you also need to turn concealment on; it's off by default. An easy way to do that is to add setlocal conceallevel=3 to the autocmd, like so:

augroup nerdtreehidecwd
    autocmd!
    autocmd FileType nerdtree setlocal conceallevel=3 | syntax match NERDTreeDirSlash #/$# containedin=NERDTreeDir conceal contained
augroup end

@kutsan how did you get all those fancy icons and stuff and are they terminal compatible ?

[kutsan]

@NikosEfthias It's just a custom font and that font has glyphs inside it. You can use those glyphs like I did. Check out these link.

To be honest, it's little hard to setup.

This doesn't seem to work with vim8.1

[kutsan]

@cevhyruz It still works, I'm using it.

[cevhyruz]

@kutsan weird.. It doesn't work on my vimrc but if I manually type this on commandline it works.

[cevhyruz]

Okay so its working now.. silly me! :p
