How can I start vim, with NERDTree automatically open, and recursively displaying content of all dirs? Or change window?

[Hubert Lubaczewski]

Basically, I can do it now by:

vim -c 'NERDTree .' -c 'normal O' some_file.txt

But it doesn't "look fine" (i.e. the "normal O") - looks like bad idea to depend on key mapping.

Also - is there any way I could automatically switch active window - so that it will not be NERDTree, but the some_file.txt one?

As I showed, I can open NERDTree automatically. What I can't is, from command line, make it open all dirs - which is what pressing "O" does.
