Ask HN: What Vim plugins do you use?
Hello. I am returning to Vim after a short break. I thought this thread would be a good idea to make sure that I am up to date and that I haven't missed any new plugins.
Also, what's the best plugin/setup for python code completion these days?
- ElongatedTowel 13y agoFar too many. Some I'm using maybe every twentieth time I start vim, but whenever I throw them out I suddenly need them... vim-easymotion - Jump to positions easily (I still use the mouse too often) vim-powerline - Prettier and more customizable display of useful data and the mode we're in vim-supertab - Still fails me too often but I'm having it set to omnicomplete most of the time minibufexpl - Old but I don't like the way the tabs works ctrlp - Good fuzzy finder. Not sure if it's the best, but it doesn't require compiling Ruby extensions and weird crap Gundo - Tames the undo tree ack.vim - Integrates ack to search in files more easily vim-css-color - Love this one. Underlays color values with the actual color And other stuff like syntax for YAML, Jinja2 and HTML5.

- medius 13y agoI use https://github.com/skwp/dotfiles https://github.com/skwp/dotfiles for all my vim and zsh needs. I don't need/want to maintain my plugins and I like the recommended shortcuts.
- johncoltrane 13y agoThe plugins you were using before your break still work so I'm not sure you need to look for new plugins. Unless some of your plugins didn't satisfy you. In which case you could list the offenders so that we try to come up with alternatives. Anyway, there seems to be a consensus around youcompleteme+jedi, these days. Welcome back.
