I am really new to vim and have been trying to use it more over the past months. Issue is I cannot get the plugins to work, I have followed the steps on vim plug github and some other sites.
I am on windows and when I use the :set path
in vim itself it shows the vim directory but appending to it is a folder called vimfiles
, is this just a general name for all associated files?
I added the plug lines to my _vimrc
but when I run :PlugInstall
it throws a error saying it's not a command. Is there any up to date info on windows installations ? This feels like a easy issue but I cannot figure it out and without syntax higlighting or anything it is kind of rough.
What I want to know is:
- where to put files for vim plug?
- why vim plug is not loading?
- Why do I have 3 auto load folders spread over separate folders?
:set path
and:set runtimepath
, just FYI. Also, if you’re wondering about option-related stuff,:help
is a goldmine
