My Current Vim Plugins

I’ve currently been using Vim as my main editor for the past two years, before that I was mainly Netbeans guy. The initial hurdle of learning all the different modes and creating your own vimrc. Can be a challenge at the start but if you stick with it can be very rewarding and time saving editor.

Heres a couple of my favourite plugins which I use on a regular basis.

Pathogen

“Manage your ‘runtimepath’ with ease. In practical terms, pathogen.vim makes it super easy to install plugins and runtime files in their own private directories.”

commented text”
