The top answers here mention using T to open a file in a new tab silently  or Ctrl WW to hop back to nerd-tree window after file is opened normally  IF WORKING WITH BUFFERS  use go to open a file in a new buffer  silently  meaning your focus will remain on nerd-tree  Use this to open multiple files fast

You can change the tabs by ctrl-pgup and ctrl-pgdown  On that tab you came from the NERDTree is still selected and you can open another tab

If you use T instead of t there is no need to jump back because the new tab will be opened  but vim s focus will simply remain within NERDTree

Since it s not mentioned and it s really helpful   ctrl-wp  which I memorize as go to the previously selected window   It works as a there and back command  After having opened a new file from the tree in a new window press ctrl-wp to switch back to the NERDTree and use it again to return to your previous window   PS  it is worth to mention that ctrl-wp is actually documented as go to the preview window  see   help preview-window and  help ctrl-w     It is also the only keystroke which works to switch inside and explore the COC preview documentation window

NERDTree opens up in another window   That split view you re seeing   They re called windows in vim parlance   All the window commands start with CTRL-W   To move from adjacent windows that are left and right of one another  you can change focus to the window to the left of your current window with CTRL-w h  and move focus to the right with CTRL-w l   Likewise  CTRL-w j and CTRL-w k will move you between horizontally split windows  i e   one window is above the other    There s a lot more you can do with windows as described here   You can also use the  NERDTreeToggle command to make your tree open and close   I usually bind that do t
