Vim NERDTree: How to delete multiple files at once?

Question

Is possible to delete multiple files in VIM ERDTree? I know the delete node command is m(show menu),d(delete node),y(delete?). If I want to delete multiple files, I have to input m,d,y command many times. Can I select many nodes and input delete command once to delete multiple files?

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

The latest netrw-s are using the COMSPEC environment variable with /c and move (and copy, for copying). Should work more often under Windows without the user needing to specify a move and/or copy executable command. Please upgrade your netrw to http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW ; as of now its up to v153f.

As far as I know, NERDTree doesn't let you select multiple nodes so I believe you can't do what you want with that plugin.

However, vim comes by default with another plugin which does a lot more than NERDTree called netrw: :help netrw.

With netrw, deleting multiple files is done like that:

mf
(navigation)
mf
