You can place Vim plugins in the ~/. vim/pack/vendor/start/plugin_name directory. Note that the plugin_name folder name will vary from plugin to plugin. To demonstrate this point, let's install a Vim plugin known as NERDTree.
Vim plugin managers make it easier for you to add, update, and remove Vim plugins from your system. Vim is one of the best command-line text editors you can lay your hands on. It comes preinstalled by default on Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems.
vim-plug works by cloning each Git repository into the location specified by begin . After installing, you can find the example plugin in ~/. vim/plugged/vim-unimpaired . Installing plugins is done inside of Vim.
Not a VIM user myself, so forgive me if this is totally offbase. But according to what I gather from the following VIM Tips site:
" where was an option set
:scriptnames : list all plugins, _vimrcs loaded (super)
:verbose set history? : reveals value of history and where set
:function : list functions
:func SearchCompl : List particular function
The problem with :scriptnames
, :commands
, :functions
, and similar Vim commands, is that they display information in a large slab of text, which is very hard to visually parse.
To get around this, I wrote Headlights, a plugin that adds a menu to Vim showing all loaded plugins, TextMate style. The added benefit is that it shows plugin commands, mappings, files, and other bits and pieces.
:set runtimepath?
This lists the path of all plugins loaded when a file is opened with Vim.
If you use Vundle, :PluginList
.
:help local-additions
Lists local plugins added.
If you use vim-plug (Plug), " A minimalist Vim plugin manager.":
:PlugStatus
That will not only list your plugins but check their status.
