I use the plugin NERDTree, but every time I call it, I need to type

:NERDTree

I can’t use the EscKey to help me to auto type the command, is there any way to reduce my typing? Thanks.

Just remap it to something easier:

" F12 toggles NERDTree
map <F12> :NERDTreeToggle<CR>

" Or cmap it to :NT
cmap NT NERDTree

But anyway, you can just press <Tab> to autocomplete it after the first few characters.

:NER<Tab>

… autocompletes :NERDTree
