Vim plugins

March 2, 2019

Vim is a powerful and customizable editor. With the right plugins, it's better than any IDE, and it won't lock you into a specific language. I use Vim to work with Python, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. Here are some of my favorite plugins.

• fzf - Fast navigation through the files of a project.
• grep - Use grep within Vim.
• supertab - Tab autocomplete. Use it with jedi-vim.
• vim-flake8 - Python formatting.
• vim-prettier - JavaScript formatting.
• vim-fugitive - Use Git within Vim.
• vim-gitgutter - See what lines have changed.
• MatchTag - Highlights matching HTML tags.
• vim-css-color - Preview colors in source code.
• vim-commentary - Comment stuff out.

Update: I switched to Neovim, and I still use most of these plugins.
