vimplus is an opinionated Vim “distribution” and automatic configuration program by chxuan which bundles a large number of plugins and configurations so that you can essentially install Vim once and have a fully-loaded development setup. Rather than starting with a bare .vimrc and gradually adding plugins, vimplus gives you a pre-configured environment that includes file explorers, completion, status lines, themes, and more. It includes a custom installer and update script, and places a lot of the configuration into ~/.vimrc.custom.plugins and ~/.vimrc.custom.config for user customisations. This approach can save a lot of time for users who don’t want to spend weeks assembling their Vim environment. However, because it includes many plugins and opinionated mappings, some users feel it’s heavier than a minimal Vim setup and may require unlearning some defaults. For developers who want a “just work” Vim setup for C/C++, Python, JavaScript, etc., vimplus is a very strong starting point.

Features

  • One-step installer (install.sh) that clones vimplus and sets up the configuration
  • Pre-bundled plugins for common workflows (file navigation, git integration, auto-pairs, themes)
  • Custom configuration files (.vimrc.custom.plugins, .vimrc.custom.config) so you can override or extend the setup
  • Leader key (``,` by default) and many shortcut mappings predefined for buffer/file management
  • Support for multiple languages and modes out of the box, e.g., C/C++, Python, JavaScript
  • Easy plugin update mechanism (update.sh) and modularity so you can strip out unwanted pieces
