by Shane

vim-plugins-surround-vimWhy 8? Because after much tidying I figured out there’s 8 I only use. :)

1 ) CheckSyntax – Check the syntax of the current file. Handy it automatically runs on save.

2 ) SearchComplete – Type part of a variable name, press tab and it will auto-complete the name.

3 ) MatchIt – Extends % with more than going to the matching brace.

4 ) Project – Allow managing of source folders, sorta like an IDE.

5 ) Surround – Delete, change and add surrounds(XML tags, bracket, quotes etc) with ease.

6 ) TagList – Using exuberant ctags it provides an overview of your source code structure.

7 ) SuperTab – Provides better tab completion.

8 ) Get Latest Plugins – Possibly the handiest of them all, :GetLatestVimScripts and all yours scripts are up to date(after some configuration).
