Included Plugins

I recommend reading the docs of these plugins to understand them better. Each of them provide a much better Vim experience!

• NERD Tree: A tree explorer plugin for vim :NERDTree
• ack.vim: Vim plugin for the Perl module / CLI script 'ack' :Ack -i
• ag.vim: A much faster Ack :
• ctrlp.vim: Fuzzy file, buffer, mru and tag finder. In my config it's mapped to <Ctrl+F>, because <Ctrl+P> is used by YankRing C-f
• mru.vim: Plugin to manage Most Recently Used (MRU) files. Includes my own fork which adds syntax highlighting to MRU. This plugin can be opened with <leader+f> C-b
• open_file_under_cursor.vim: Open file under cursor when pressing gf gf
• zencoding: Expanding abbreviation like zen-coding, very useful for editing XML, HTML.
• vim-indent-object: Defines a new text object representing lines of code at the same indent level. Useful for python/vim scripts
• taglist.vim: Source code browser (supports C/C++, java, perl, python, tcl, sql, php, etc) nouse now
• vim-multiple-cursors: Sublime Text style multiple selections for Vim, CTRL+N is remapped to CTRL+S (due to YankRing)
• vim-expand-region: Allows you to visually select increasingly larger regions of text using the same key combination.
• vim-airline: Lean & mean status/tabline for vim that's light as air (replacing powerline)
• vim-fugitive: A Git wrapper so awesome, it should be illegal
• goyo.vim and vim-zenroom2: Remove all clutter and focus only on the essential. Similar to iA Writer or Write Room Read more here
• vim-commentary: Comment stuff out. Use gcc to comment out a line (takes a count), gc to comment out the target of a motion. gcu uncomments a set of adjacent commented lines.
• syntastic: Syntax checking hacks for vim
