I like switching my focus back and forth between the NERDTREE pane and a file and the command Ctrl-ww accomplishes this. I’d like to map this to <Leader>w but variations of map <Leader>w <C-ww><CR> in my .vimrc are not working for me. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this mapping?

    It’s not <C-ww>, it’s <C-w>w or <C-w><C-w>.

    That’s either Ctrl+w then w or Ctrl+w then Ctrl+w.

    So your mapping should be nnoremap <Leader>w <C-w>w or nnoremap <Leader>w <C-w><C-w>.

    Note that you can use <C-w>p to move to the previous window and effectively toggle between NERDTree and your active window.

    See :help window for more infos on windows in Vim.
