You can try vim-closer or auto-pairs . But personally I prefer auto-pairs.

I personally use nerdtree. Add nerdtree-git-plugin too, that's nice when looking at your project (for files, use vim-gitgutter).

nerdtree is another very popular option

Using my toy js refactoring plugin and NERDTree.

2) Syntax check https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic 3) File navigation https://github.com/preservim/nerdtree 4) Autocomplete There are many autocomplete extensions. I haven't found one that I feel comfortable to recommend. Another way is to create a txt file with all the key words and lines in the languages you use, make an autocommand that adds the txt file to the buffer, and then use ctrl-n or ctrl-p to autocomplete. You can also use ctrl-x-ctrl-l to autocmplete entire lines. 5) Running code Add commands in your .vmrc to run the current file as a a whatever file. I use :J to run java files, :P to run python files, :C to run c files and so on. For example, this is my command to run a java file: command J execute "!java %:t"

Plug 'https://github.com/preservim/nerdtree'

My basic vim workflow is that I open vim, which opens NerdTree for me by default. I can find the file I want in NerdTree, or I can hit Ctrl+p to open a file with fuzzy searching.

What's also useful is to have a tree plugin (such as nvim-tree or nerdtree), so you can just open any file in the workspace (or outside it) if needed. That way, even if you delete a buffer, you can just come back to a file whose buffer you deleted.

Worth noting Nerdtree’s repo is now at https://github.com/preservim/nerdtree and not at https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree
