NOTE: this project is dead. I think it's much nicer to list plugins in your .vimrc and fetch them using vim-update-bundles. Most of Vimsy's functionality is here, copy the bits that you like: https://github.com/bronson/dotfiles/blob/master/.vimrc Also check out Janus: https://github.com/carlhuda/janus Here is Vimsy, frozen since November 2010... Vimsy A nice vim-based code-stomping environment Vimsy is a collection of the best Vim plugins. It turns Vim into a fast, flexible, and seriously capable code editor. INSTALL Macintosh users: install MacVim, http://code.google.com/p/macvim Windows users: install gvim, http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install vim-gnome Fedora users: yum install vim gvim ctags Vimsy is tested on Vim 7.2 on Mac/Linux. It should work reasonably well on any Vim 7 or higher. Now, in your home directory: git clone git://github.com/bronson/vimsy.git .vim git clone git://github.com/bronson/vim-update-bundles.git create a symbolic link to .vim/vimrc and then run the vim-update-bundles script: ln -s .vim/vimrc .vimrc vim-update-bundles/vim-update-bundles And you're done! Note that if you want to use command-t, you'll need to build its C extension manually. $ cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t $ rake make Run ':help vimsy' and ':help bundles' to learn about the good stuff you have at your disposal.
