Vim plugins

Vim is extremely extensible, both using viml and python (if it is compiled into your version of vim). If you are looking for directions for creating your own plugins, See Writing Vim Plugins.

NOTE:

See vimrc for latest notes, plugins, and usage.

Managing Plugins

Check if plugin is loaded

" check if a plugin is loaded
if &rtp =~ 'vim-airline,'
    echo "vim-airline plugin is loaded"
endif
