I wanted to keep a running list of vim plugins that I find useful. I don’t use many because I use a lot of different machines and find that portability almost always outweighs customization. As I come to add more to my repertoire I will edit this post.

Of course NerdTree https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree

Here is a plugin that allows you to kill your current buffer without loosing your window (splits) Buffkill: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1147

Color Sampler pack (checkout twilight): http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=625

Syntastic syntax checking (haven’t used this much but have heard good things): https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic

TopFunky’s Peeopen (macvim only): http://peepcode.com/products/peepopen
