NERDTreeToggle always makes it show up on the left side. I'd like to make it show up on the right. Is it possible to do that?

vim nerdtree

Add this line to your .vimrc:

let g:NERDTreeWinPos = "right"

You can change the window position in your NERD_Tree.vim file too. I usually like looking through .vim files, if only to help keep my .vimrc file clear.

Here is the code to change:

call s:initVariable("g:NERDTreeWinPos", "left") "default
call s:initVariable("g:NERDTreeWinPos", "right")

The code should be at line number 90, if not then I have included the default so that you can search for it.

Also, here is a link for some info on the NERD_Tree.vim file.
