Is it possible to make NERDtree use :lcd instead of :cd?

Question

In vim if you use the :lcd command, it will change the working directory for the current window only. I like this because many plugins respect it. I can have one project open in one tab, and in another tab have another project and use Command-T in both.

NERDTree's :cd command will change the working directory for all windows / tabs. So if I had previously set the lcd for different windows, NERDTree in essence stomps on that.

I love NERDTree but is there any way I can teach it to use the lcd command instead of the cd command?

Answer 1

git grep lcd reveals that it is not used anywhere. Thus I think your only choices are:

1) Patch it in yourself (git grep cd says there are 3 places where :cd is used).

2) Open an issue report on github (but make sure to go through the list of open issues before that, there are 132 of them. :-) )
