Option to Disable a Plugin

[LandonSchropp]

I'm using Thoughtbot's dotfiles, which installs Syntastic by default. Since I'm using Neovim, I'd like for a way to disable the prevent Syntastic from being installed and install Neomake instead.

For sample, I'd like to do something like this:

" In Thoughtbot's .vimrc
Plug 'scrooloose/syntastic'

...

" In my .vimrc
Unplug 'scrooloose/syntastic'
Plug 'benekastah/neomake'

Is something like that possible? Thanks in advance!

P.S. Thanks for creating such a great plugin manager!

1. Remove if from g:plugs: call remove(g:plugs, 'syntastic')
2. Override it so that it's not loaded: Plug 'scrooloose/syntastic', { 'on': [] }
   • It will be still installed though
3. Fork the repo, which I honestly think is the best approach :)

(1 and 2 should be done before call plug#end())

Thanks!

Just for the record, this solution worked for me.

The plugin must be removed from both g:plugs and g:plugs_order,
so I created the UnPlug command which call a custom function.

vimrc:

function! s:deregister(repo)
  let repo = substitute(a:repo, '[\/]\+$', '', '')
  let name = fnamemodify(repo, ':t:s?\.git$??')
  call remove(g:plugs, name)
  call remove(g:plugs_order, index(g:plugs_order, name))
endfunction

command! -nargs=1 -bar UnPlug call s:deregister(<args>)


call plug#begin('~/.vim/bundle')

" Load bundles
source ~/.vim/bundle.vim

" Load bundles of the fork
if filereadable(expand("~/.vim/bundle.fork"))
  source ~/.vim/bundle.fork
endif

" Load bundles of the local machine
if filereadable(expand("~/.vim/bundle.local"))
  source ~/.vim/bundle.local
endif

call plug#end()

delcom UnPlug

bundle.vim:

" ...
Plug 'kien/ctrlp.vim'
" ...

bundle.local:

" Disable
UnPlug 'kien/ctrlp.vim'
" Replace
Plug 'junegunn/fzf'
Plug 'junegunn/fzf.vim'

The plugin must be removed from both g:plugs and g:plugs_order

Hmm, you're right. I'll make the code ignore any entry in g:plugs_order that is not found in g:plugs.
