Optional Info

When using NERDTree, if a filename has brackets then they are not shown in NERDTree.
So for a file named [id].js, NERDTree only displays id.js.

If I turn off conceal NERTree brackets like let g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets=0 then it will show the brackets in the filename but also show brackets around the icons which is unwanted.

Without setting let g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets=0:

With settting let g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets=0

Hah interesting right... Yes, this should be fixed.

Hello @ryanoasis , I have similar problem
I can't get rid of the brackets in Gvim, I have tired your solutions from earlier posts about this problem, but none of them work.

I am on linux and terminal vim works just fine with the settings you provide in the wiki#usage.
So is there a way to disable them completle ??

[ryanoasis]

hey @Goku-San I take it you looked at https://github.com/ryanoasis/vim-devicons/wiki/FAQ-&-Troubleshooting#square-brackets-around-icons ?

Also perhaps it is possible your gvim is built with different options than your vim ?
:echo has('conceal')

[Goku-San]

Hi @ryanoasis yes I've looked at FAQ about the square brackets. According to that all should be ok
:echo has('conceal') on Gvim is 1 so that's good.

Also, now I have noticed that the icons are not showing properly
my Gvim version is 8.2, guifont = FiraCode Nerd Font Medium 12

[Goku-San]

Hi @ryanoasis, I fixed the problem with the brackets. It was my fault all along, sorry for wasting your time, I had .gvimrc and .vimrc so they were in conflict, now I deleted .gvimrc and created a regular gvim.vim file with only things that concern Gvim, and I sourced it through .vimrc and all is good, except the font. I don't know how to fix that or if it needs fixing at all.

When I set guifont=FiraCode\ Nerd\ Font\ Medium\ 12 icons are not showing properly in Gvim, but when set guifont=Fira\ Code\ Medium\ 12 they are oki.

Again, sorry for wasting your time.

@Goku-San no worries. glad you got it sorted out.

Hi,

I have the same problème.

This line replace all brackets in Nerdtree ?
https://github.com/ryanoasis/vim-devicons/blob/master/plugin/webdevicons.vim#L357

Has you solution for change only first bracket on line ?

Thank you

[ryanoasis]

@apoutchika Yes that's correct as long as the conceal feature is there in your build of vim.

Has you solution for change only first bracket on line ?

That is still a known issue I believe for some. Can you post a screenshot?

[apoutchika]

Thank you @ryanoasis for you'r fast response !

This is a screenshot without configuration :

But, if I add let g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets = 0 in my vimrc, all brackets is OK

I would like to have this result:

.. (up a dir)
  /tmp/devicon/
  ▾  [test2]/
       [test3].js

( is icon)

It's Next js who use bracket in filename for dynamic routes : https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/pages#pages-with-dynamic-routes
