:rabbit2: Provides a quick way to open the current item in NERDTree with the default desktop application associated with it :rabbit2:

Introduction

This is fairly simple plugin for vim that provides a way of launching the current item in NERDTree with the default desktop application associated with it. This is done by pressing the key e on the item you want to open externally (it works with files and directories). Feel free to override the default key mapping to your preferable one via:

let g:nerdTreeOpenExternallyMap = "e"

This plugin supports Linux, MacOS and Windows.
