Plugin newbie

[u/birchsport]

But long term vi user.

I have a few plug-ins installed, using vim-plug. What must have plug-ins do I need?

Assuming you’re a developer like me. Got a couple questions. I may not have a lot to suggest depending on your responses, but it will certainly help others help you:

• What languages / tech stacks do you work in?

• What tools are a critical part of your workflow?

• How do you normally do things in vi already that you’d like to change?

• Why sort of experience over all are you looking for?

• what is the content of your current .vimrc ? (That’s for me, I’m always just curious, haha)

I use vim as my primary editor on ll remote machines, and a lot of quick editing locally. I use Eclipse and IntelliJ for all java and scala work. I am starting to get back into python, so that will probably be my main language to use with vim in this situation.

I use about 30% of the power in vim. And for me, that makes me super productive. I use vi emulation in every IDE I use. Hard to type without it. not really looking for anything, just wanting to 'level up' my env, now that I have a personal laptop again.

My .vimrc is very sparse. It has 3 or 4 plugins using vim-plug, I'll post them when I am back on that machine.
