Global directory sidebar for vim

Question

How can I have a global sidebar for vim? There is a plugin for MacVim named drawer which:

It's "global", so it always looks the same even when tabs are in use. It also works correctly in full-screen mode. File system commands like :cd are reflected in the drawer, and switching buffers causes the highlighted file to change.

From this link http://usevim.com/2013/03/06/project-drawer/ you can see what I mean So, my question is How can I have such functionality in GVim on Linux?

Answer 1

You can't have exactly the same thing because nobody ever wrote it.

But there's always NERDTree and NERDTree-Tabs.
