vim-tim

For those who love Tim Pope's plugins, this should give you a rush.

For anyone starting out with Vim, this is a great set of lightweight plugins. There's lots of beginner Vim .vimrc files that can take away some of Vim's lightweight power. This is only meant to get you started, but all these plugins are good examples of how to play nicely with the Vim ecosystem and keep the Vim spirit (at least how I see it).

• Pathogen - Plugins
• Sensible - Vim defaults
• Obsession - Save your Session (:help Session)
• Fugitive - Managing Git
• Vinegar - Better use of the in-built file explorer (:help netrw)
• Surround - Surround selections with brackets or characters
• Unimpaired - Switching buffers, lines, etc
• Commentary - Commenting lines
• Repeat - Repeat Surround and Unimpaired actions
