how to restore the original size after using the NERDTree Menu in Vim?

I use NERDTree as a file explorer and after using its Menu, Vim does not return to its original size, see screenshots below.

Using NERDTree Menu: enter image description here

After using the Menu: enter image description here

The editor returns to normal only if I resize the terminal window.

This is caused by an incompatibility between NERDTree and Vim 9.0.

You can fix it by applying this hotfix to your local copy of NERDTree.

Some alternatives:

  • Add let g:NERDTreeMinimalMenu=1 to your .vimrc to set menu to display in a single line
  • Use a version of Vim earlier than the 9.0 release

See issue #1321 in the NERDTree repo for more info.

You can set cmdheight to 2 to solve the problem. Add the following line into your .vimrc

set cmdheight=2

This problem remains relevant. To restore the window size, you can try these shortcuts:

  • Ctrl+w _
  • Ctrl+w |
  • Ctrl+w =
