For questions about Vim's plugin system. NOT for questions about a specific plugin (use the appropriate plugin-* tag) or questions that may require a plugin.
Plugins can be used to extend and customize Vim's functionality to a considerable extent. The following posts provide an introduction to the plugin system:
- What is a Vim plugin?
- How do I install a plugin in vim/vi?
- What makes a plugin Vundle compatible and are other plugin managers interchangeable?
- What is the difference between the vim package managers?
The plugin-system tag should be used for questions about the plugin system in general, and NOT for specific plugins.
Common terms:
- Vimball - a packaged form of a plugin.
- Vim Scripts - a repository for many Vim plugins.
