i have this line in my vimrc:
nmap p :NERDTreeToggle
so what is the hotkey for toggling NERDTree?
how do i remap it to CTRL-D?
what is the difference between nmap, map, nnoremap, inoremap, etc?
thanks.

A:
to remap in normal mode use
nmap <silent> <C-D> :NERDTreeToggle<CR>
nmap means map in normal mode
imap means map in insert mode
the nore part in nnoremap and its friends prevent expanding the mapping recursively. For example, i use to also hide search string so, in my vimrc I have
nnoremap <silent> <C-L> :noh<CR><C-L>
Without the nore, the above mapping will loop.

i tried both nmap <silent> <C-D> :NERDTreeToggle<CR> and nmap <silent> <c-d> :NERDTreeToggle<CR> but when i press CTRL-D it seems to scroll down about 33 lines...

You need to do the nnoremap because <c-d> is scroll down by default.

i changed it to nnoremap <silent> <C-D> :NERDTreeToggle<CR> but it still seems to scroll down when i press ctrl-D?

:map <c-d> :echo "hello"<CR> does it print hello on <C-d>?

no, it scrolls down about 33 lines as before.

i found that it does work if i put the entry in /etc/vim/vimrc. it does not work if i put it in ~/.vim/vimrc...

I *thought* you did all the commands in vim ex-commandline! :)

strange, why is the ~/.vim/vimrc file not being used?
