Vim
Vim - the ubiquitous text editor
Vim is a highly configurable, keyboard-driven text editor designed to make creating and editing text extremely efficient. It is based on the classic vi editor and comes preinstalled as “vi” on most UNIX systems and macOS. Vim is known for its modal editing approach, which allows users to perform complex text manipulations with minimal keystrokes. It is exceptionally stable and lightweight, making it suitable for everything from quick file edits to large development projects. Vim supports a wide range of customization options, enabling users to tailor workflows to their exact needs. Its active development and long-standing community ensure continuous improvements and long-term reliability. Vim is an improved version of the editor "vi", one of the standard text editors on UNIX systems. -

UltiSnips
Snippet solution for Vim
UltiSnips is the ultimate solution for snippets in Vim. It has many features, speed being one of them. You should first expand the #! snippet, then the class snippet. The completion menu comes from YouCompleteMe, UltiSnips also integrates with deoplete, and more. You can jump through placeholders and add text while the snippet inserts text in other places automatically: when you add Animal as a base class, __init__ gets updated to call the base class constructor. When you add arguments to the constructor, they automatically get assigned to instance variables. You can then insert your personal snippet for print debugging. -

elvis vi
elvis, a vi text editor clone
The original source tarball for Evis version 2.2_0, unmodified, is in Files. README.txt gives tips for compiling on modern compilers (gcc-4.4.5 / linux) and using Xcode for Apple Sierra OS. Elvis is a vi(1) (visual ed) vi editor clone (vim is another clone). "vi" is short for "visual ed(1)" (the 1 means see manpage for ed in section 1 of unix manual pages). vi as a visual editor means typical keyboard editing with ed(1) accessible to do complex editing jobs that developers often require (emacs is a heavyweight better than vi, but harder to use). -

Powerline
Statusline plugin for vim with prompts for several other applications
Powerline is a statusline plugin for vim, and provides statuslines and prompts for several other applications, including zsh, bash, tmux, IPython, Awesome, i3 and Qtile. Powerline was completely rewritten in Python to get rid of as much vimscript as possible. This has allowed much better extensibility, leaner and better config files, and a structured, object-oriented codebase with no mandatory third-party dependencies other than a Python interpreter. Using Python has allowed unit testing of all the project code. The code is tested to work in Python 2.6+ and Python 3. Originally created exclusively for vim statuslines, the project has evolved to provide statuslines in tmux and several WMs, and prompts for shells like bash/zsh and other applications. It’s simple to write renderers for any other applications that Powerline doesn’t yet support. JSON is a standardized, simple and easy to use file format that allows for easy user configuration across Powerline’s supported applications. -
