< Usage >_____________________________________________________________________~
|
||
*plug-usage*
|
||
|
||
Add a vim-plug section to your `~/.vimrc` (or `stdpath('config') . '/init.vim'` for
|
||
Neovim)
|
||
|
||
*plug#begin* *plug#end*
|
||
|
||
1. Begin the section with `call plug#begin([PLUGIN_DIR])`
|
||
2. List the plugins with `Plug` commands
|
||
3. `call plug#end()` to update 'runtimepath' and initialize plugin system
|
||
- Automatically executes `filetype plugin indent on` and `syntax enable`.
|
||
You can revert the settings after the call. e.g. `filetype indent off`,
|
||
`syntax off`, etc.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Example~
|
||
*plug-example*
|
||
>
|
||
call plug#begin()
|
||
" The default plugin directory will be as follows:
|
||
" - Vim (Linux/macOS): '~/.vim/plugged'
|
||
" - Vim (Windows): '~/vimfiles/plugged'
|
||
" - Neovim (Linux/macOS/Windows): stdpath('data') . '/plugged'
|
||
" You can specify a custom plugin directory by passing it as the argument
|
||
" - e.g. `call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')`
|
||
" - Avoid using standard Vim directory names like 'plugin'
|
||
|
||
" Make sure you use single quotes
|
||
|
||
" Shorthand notation; fetches https://github.com/junegunn/vim-easy-align
|
||
Plug 'junegunn/vim-easy-align'
|
||
|
||
" Any valid git URL is allowed
|
||
Plug 'https://github.com/junegunn/vim-github-dashboard.git'
|
||
|
||
" Multiple Plug commands can be written in a single line using | separators
|
||

|
||
|
||
" On-demand loading
|
||
Plug 'preservim/nerdtree', { 'on': 'NERDTreeToggle' }
|
||
Plug 'tpope/vim-fireplace', { 'for': 'clojure' }
|
||
|
||
" Using a non-default branch
|
||
Plug 'rdnetto/YCM-Generator', { 'branch': 'stable' }
|
||
|
||
" Using a tagged release; wildcard allowed (requires git 1.9.2 or above)
|
||

" Plugin outside ~/.vim/plugged with post-update hook
|
||
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'dir': '~/.fzf', 'do': './install --all' }
|
||
|
||
" Unmanaged plugin (manually installed and updated)
|
||
Plug '~/my-prototype-plugin'
|
||
|
||
" Initialize plugin system
|
||
" - Automatically executes `filetype plugin indent on` and `syntax enable`.
|
||
call plug#end()
|
||
" You can revert the settings after the call like so:
|
||
" filetype indent off " Disable file-type-specific indentation
|
||
" syntax off " Disable syntax highlighting

|
||
" NERD tree will be loaded on the first invocation of NERDTreeToggle command
|
||
Plug 'preservim/nerdtree', { 'on': 'NERDTreeToggle' }
|
||
|
||
" Multiple commands
|
||
Plug 'junegunn/vim-github-dashboard', { 'on': ['GHDashboard', 'GHActivity'] }
|
||
|
||
" Loaded when clojure file is opened
|
||
Plug 'tpope/vim-fireplace', { 'for': 'clojure' }
|
||
|
||
" Multiple file types
|
||
Plug 'kovisoft/paredit', { 'for': ['clojure', 'scheme'] }
|
||
|
||
" On-demand loading on both conditions
|
||
Plug 'junegunn/vader.vim', { 'on': 'Vader', 'for': 'vader' }
|
||
|
||
" Code to execute when the plugin is lazily loaded on demand
|
||
Plug 'junegunn/goyo.vim', { 'for': 'markdown' }
|
||
autocmd! User goyo.vim echom 'Goyo is now loaded!'
|
||
<
|
||
The `for` option is generally not needed as most plugins for specific file
|
||
types usually don't have too much code in the `plugin` directory. You might
|
||
want to examine the output of `vim --startuptime` before applying the option.
|
||
|
||
|
||
< Post-update hooks >_________________________________________________________~
|
||
*plug-post-update-hooks*
|
||
|
||
There are some plugins that require extra steps after installation or update.
|
||
In that case, use the `do` option to describe the task to be performed.
|
||
>
|
||
Plug 'Shougo/vimproc.vim', { 'do': 'make' }
|
||
Plug 'ycm-core/YouCompleteMe', { 'do': './install.py' }
|
||
<
|
||
If the value starts with `:`, it will be recognized as a Vim command.
|
||
|
||
*:GoInstallBinaries*
|
||
>
|
||
Plug 'fatih/vim-go', { 'do': ':GoInstallBinaries' }
|
||
<
|
||
If you need more control, you can pass a reference to a Vim function that
|
||
takes a single argument.
|
||
>
|
||
function! BuildYCM(info)
|
||
" info is a dictionary with 3 fields
|
||
" - name: name of the plugin
|
||
" - status: 'installed', 'updated', or 'unchanged'
|
||
" - force: set on PlugInstall! or PlugUpdate!
|
||
if a:info.status == 'installed' || a:info.force
|
||
!./install.py
|
||
endif
|
||
endfunction
|
||
|
||
Plug 'ycm-core/YouCompleteMe', { 'do': function('BuildYCM') }
|
||
<
|
||
Both forms of post-update hook are executed inside the directory of the plugin
|
||
and only run when the repository has changed, but you can force it to run
|
||
unconditionally with the bang-versions of the commands: `PlugInstall!` and
|
||
`PlugUpdate!`.
|
||
|
||
Make sure to escape BARs and double-quotes when you write the `do` option
|
||
inline as they are mistakenly recognized as command separator or the start of
|
||
the trailing comment.
|
||
>
|
||
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'do': 'yes \| ./install' }
|
||
<
|
||
But you can avoid the escaping if you extract the inline specification using a
|
||
variable (or any Vimscript expression) as follows:
|
||
|
||
*g:fzf_install*
|
||
>
|
||
let g:fzf_install = 'yes | ./install'
|
||
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'do': g:fzf_install }
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
< PlugInstall! and PlugUpdate! >______________________________________________~
|
||
*pluginstall-and-plugupdate*
|
||
|
||
The installer takes the following steps when installing/updating a plugin:
|
||
|
||
1. `git clone` or `git fetch` from its origin
|
||
2. Check out branch, tag, or commit and optionally `git merge` remote branch
|
||
3. If the plugin was updated (or installed for the first time)
|
||
1. Update submodules
|
||
2. Execute post-update hooks
|
||
|
||
The commands with the `!` suffix ensure that all steps are run
|
||
unconditionally.
