I use `vundle` to manage my plugins, which makes my `.vim` directory clean and tidy. If you are new to vim, the following two posts

* [Vim Introduction and Tutorial](http://blog.interlinked.org/tutorials/vim_tutorial.html)
* [Vim plugins I use](http://mirnazim.org/writings/vim-plugins-i-use/)

will be good for you.

#### Most of the time we are writing code so we need:
## Code Completions

Such as completions for variable names and function names(neocomplcache), expanding snippets(snipMate), auto closing brackets/brace/quote(delimitMate) and fast expand expressions to HTML(ZenCoding).

* [neocomplcache](http://github.com/Shougo/neocomplcache) - Ultimate auto completion system for Vim.
* [snipMate](https://github.com/garbas/vim-snipmate) - Plugin for using TextMate-style snippets in Vim.
* [supertab](http://github.com/ervandew/supertab) - Perform all your vim insert mode completions with Tab.
* [delimitMate](http://github.com/Raimondi/delimitMate) - Provides auto-balancing and some expansions for parens, quotes, etc.

### Shortcuts

* `Tab` -> Rotate across the completion list
* `Tab` -> Expand snippets or jump to the next placeholder of snippet
* `Ctrl` + `j` -> Call zen-coding expansion on html tags

### Dependencies

Compile Vim with `--enable-pythoninterp` and `--enable-rubyinterp` to enable powerful syntax completion supplied by neocomplcache.

``` bash
brew install macvim --override-system-vim  # OS X
yum install vim                            # Fedora
emerge vim                                 # Gentoo
```

![Snippets](https://raw.github.com/fuhu/.vimrc/master/screenshots/snippets.gif)

#### Sometimes we need to jump to previous positions to copy/paste or do some fixes:
## Fast navigation

* [matchit](http://github.com/tsaleh/vim-matchit) - Extended % matching for HTML, LaTeX, and many other languages.
* [EasyMotion](https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-easymotion) - Vim motions on speed!

### Tutorial

``` vim
:help easymotion
```

### Shortcuts

* `%` -> Jump between brackets and html/xml tags
* `<leader>` + `w` -> Beginning of the word.
* `<leader>` + `f` + `{char}` -> Find {char} to the right.

#### Doing fixes should be as fast as possible!
## Fast editing

* [surround](http://github.com/tpope/vim-surround) - Easily delete, change and add such surroundings in pairs.
* [nerdcommenter](http://github.com/scrooloose/nerdcommenter) - Easy commenting of code for many filetypes.
* [Gundo](https://github.com/sjl/gundo.vim/) - visualize your Vim undo tree.
* [tabular](https://github.com/godlygeek/tabular) - Vim script for text filtering and alignment.
