vim-settings-plugins

This blog records my vim settings and plugins. The system I am using is Ubuntu 18.04.

Install vim-8

The default vim of Ubuntu 18.04 is vim-7 (if you install it with sudo apt install vim).
First thing to do is upgrade it to vim-8, using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/vim
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vim

Add plugins

Install Vundle

Before installing any plugin, make sure to install Vundle.
Note Launch vim and run :PluginInstall when installing new plugin.

List of plugins

Here is the list of the plugins I am using:

• vim-LanguageTool: This plugin integrates the LanguageTool grammar checker into Vim.
