Vim with NERDTree Adequate Defaults

.bashrc

# I love super fast keyboard. Most of my friends and colleagues can't follow
# I use `atkbd.softrepeat=1` on the kernel command line.
# Even Visual Assist plugin in Visual Studio doubles keyboard repeat rate with _a reason_.
# I'm working on my laptop without X installed to avoid procrastination.
# I've spend a working day googling how to make `kbdrate` using slower delay than 250.
# Add this to your /etc/profile.d/kbdrate.sh: sudo kbdrate -r 82 -d 150 if you want it in console.
# Note that it will force you type password twice. I didn't find any workarounds.
xset r rate 150 82

# When exiting from Vim, just type
#   v filename
# and Ctrl+k after Vim shows up
# to open that file from any directory or default location

The config for syncing the nerdtree works well in most of the cases but it messed up everything when I used coc.nvim go to references functionality. using BufRead event in place of the BufEnter fixed the issue.
