Windows users must delete the statement that auto installs vimplug at the beggining of the vimrc and proceed with the manual installation of vimplug, then launch vim with the new vimrc so that the plugins can be installed. Naturally you must use another editor to alter the vimrc.
Watch how its installed on Vimeo or Youtube

As of version 2, once you start vim with my .vimrc. vimplug and plugins will be installed automatically. Don't panic and let it work

- Ranger. See mine
- Vifm
- It was tested on multiple devices and distros with Vim from the terminal on linux and Gvim on Arch and Windows and it works perfectly. If anyone happens to use this on OSX please provide me with your feedback.
- Please keep in mind that in case your terminal emulator takes charge of some of your keys, its up to you to figure it out. Some terminals do hold unto your Ctrl or Alt or shift key for their own functions
- You can review the list of plugins and comment out or delete the lines about the ones you dont want. This must be done before running
:PlugInstall- If you want to delete any plugins later, delete the lines about them and run:
:PlugClean
