Vim package addon

EAD · 2006-04-03 16:58:14

Hii, why isn't there a package in the AUR or something with many usfull plugins for vim?
I know there is one for Xemacs, so why did'nt any one make one with many nice and good plugins for VIM :?:

phrakture · 2006-04-03 18:12:54

Because plugins are subjective. No onw made a package for firefox plugins either - vim plugins are easilly installable from ww.vim.org, by saving them in ~/.vim/plugins/

EAD · 2006-04-03 18:22:34

Yes I know they are easy to install, I just thought it will be nice to have some good set of plugins for everyday use.
Like the top 10-20 of the plugins

Cerebral · 2006-04-03 18:50:47

EAD, sounds like a good project for your own first package! You've found something you think people might like, that doesn't exist yet - give it a shot.

Still may not be that easy, as I reckon it largely depends on which programming language(s) you're using.

amm
C/C++ and JAVA and SCHEME ans C# and so on
Why should it be a problem?

Ok, but say I mainly program in Java and Python. My plugins are going to be different to those that a C/C++ programmer may use. So let's say we pick (an arbitary) top 5 languages, and package a load of plugins for them. Then brace yourself for the "this package doesn't contain plugins for language no 6/7/8/..." or whatever.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like the idea of downloading a bunch of plugins via pacman, I'm just thinking that it's possibly not the most practical method.

lang2 · 2006-04-06 22:28:45

The things is: your top ten list might not be somebody else's. Ppl use it for
different purpose.

iphitus · 2006-04-06 22:56:08

lang2, we know, but we are pretty safe in picking a top 10 languages that will cover a majority of users. There's always going to be users who use others, but they can help themselves

The only one I would back as a packagable plugin is taglist. Taglist is sweet.

codemac · 2006-04-07 01:29:11

I like minibuflist or whatever it's called.

iphitus · 2006-04-07 13:03:07

aye, ill double on minibuflist too. also what could be a good inclusion is the collection of colour themes. hicurline is pretty useful sometimes too.

Bah, use vim7, :set cursorline

Minibufexpl has alot of issues, for instance, :bwipe -ing a buffer has the potential to kill syntax highlighting. I use BufExplorer for that sort of stuff

EAD · 2006-04-07 19:52:27

so, will some one with good knowledge of VIM 7, will make us a package?
:?:

codemac · 2006-04-07 22:28:07

pacman -S testing/gvim-devel

Phrakture's gotcha covered, EAD

Yeah, and neri has you covered... I do a rare update here and there, but neri is more on the ball

phrakture · 2006-04-12 06:13:52

I have added:

vim-bufexplorer
vim-colorsamplerpack
vim-minibufexpl
vim-taglist

to extra - enjoy.

phrakture · 2006-04-12 06:21:43

Addition:

vim-matchit

Kindred · 2006-04-12 10:48:39

Nice idea, thanks.

(ctags should probably be a dep of taglist?)

lang2 · 2006-04-12 14:14:05

Just some thoughts:

1. After the installation, ':helptags' command should be run to allow the help link to be added to the local-addition section
2. It would be better to install to /usr/share/vim/vimfiles directory instead of /usr/share/vim directory.

Whoops, good catch.

helptags is run on install/upgrade/removal

As far as I know, the only difference is the order in which they are loaded - it might be more proper to place them in vimfiles... I'll think about it.

zbled · 2006-04-13 07:41:38

i prefere Tiny Buffer Explorer (tbe)... and is really noone using showmarks? or a "wiki" for vim (f.eg. potwiki)?
