Chapter 2Installing Plugins
Plugins add new functionality to Vim. You’ll use plugins throughout this book, so you need to be able to install them. Historically, Vim’s built-in support for installing plugins has been poor, so the Vim community responded by creating plugin managers. However, since version 8, Vim’s packages feature has made it easy to install plugins without relying on a plugin manager.
