"How to do what 90% of plugins do in vanilla vim" - what are some of the 10% plugins?

• dotfiles

  9 13 9.9 Lua

Fwiw, this is mybasic vimrc. It uses a self-installing version of minpac, which itself is a thin wrapper on the native pack feature in vim. I've found it's pretty portable.

• dotfiles

  13 926 4.6 Shell

  Settings for various tools I use. (by nickjj)

Here's a couple from my vimrc.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• vimspector

  100 4,002 8.0 Vim Script

  vimspector - A multi-language debugging system for Vim

In my opinion, Language Server Protocol (LSP) clients and integrated debuggers, like vimspector, would be very tedious to the point that it's not worth it, but my dev workflow doesn't require them to be in Vim:

• debug

  28 1,077 8.5 Ruby

  Debugging functionality for Ruby (by ruby)

  

For debugging, printing data to stdout gets me 80-90% of the way there. The remaining times, I just use command-line debuggers, like gdb for go/rust or ruby/debug or node inspect, ...etc.

• .dotfiles

  11 11 8.9 Shell

  My dotfiles (by pbnj)

Check out my vimrc for more examples of vim-native implementations of some common plugins.

• nvim-ts-context-commentstring

  26 1,037 6.7 Lua

  Neovim treesitter plugin for setting the commentstring based on the cursor location in a file.

And if you use neovim + treesitter you can make this even better with nvim-ts-context-commentstring.

• vim-dirvish

  11 1,152 4.6 Vim Script

  Directory viewer for Vim :zap:

• WorkOS
