  • 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"
