Help Me with Ubuntu Terminal...

Hi Guys, I need help with this.

So I am learning blockchain development by myself,
I am following a video tutorial about creating an ethereum wallet.
In this video tutorial the application which I used is windows terminal, running ubuntu and using truffle framework.
In the middle of the video, the instructor suddenly opens a tab on the left side (as you can see from the photo below), without giving any explanation about how to open the tab. I heard him pressing his keyboard and suddenly the tab on the left just popped up in a split second. So, I was assuming that he was using the shortcut key to open that tab. And also I already search on Windows Terminal settings and I can't find the shortcut key he used to open the tab, even more I tried it one by one, I mean all of the shortcut keys that I can find in Windows Terminal Settings. And I already googled about it and I can't find any answers related to it.

I know this is a silly thing, because I understand it just a basic thing in how to operate windows terminal. But since, I am self-learning about Blockchain development and I am just following the tutorial video. So, I am stuck in this step.

I really need to know, How to open this tab, it would be a major help to me if you guys can tell me how to open the tab, Thanks in advance.

Hi there.

That's not a part of Windows Terminal, it's the "NERDTree" plugin for Vim. The tutorial is showing something being edited in Vim, and the user has that plugin installed.

You can find out more about it from the official NERDTree repo.

It's not something that should affect you going through the rest of the tutorial though :)
