Writing Vim Plugins

Thanks Steve. Not only is your post on coming back to Vim (about plugins) excellent, but so is this. I've always wanted to write plugins but been lost. I would then write shell scripts and then call them from Vim. Hopefully, this will spur me to write plugins.

Thanks!

The easiest way to get started writing plugins is by:

* Writing little functions and mappings in your .vimrc.

* Looking at the code for a relatively small plugin someone else has made.

Give it a try! Vimscript is awful but making plugins is still fun.

Your hard work is definitely much appreciated. I switched to Vim a week ago and Coming Home to Vim has been like a bible.
