# Vim

Vim is the powerful highly configurable text editor with extensible plugin system and great documentation.

## Notes

### Plugin system

#### Install plugins

Vim 8+ has built-in plugin system. `:help packages`

1. Make dir and clone plugin repository

```
mkdir ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/

git clone https://github.com/prettier/vim-prettier ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vim-prettier
```

1. Enable auto load plugins at vim starts. In `.vimrc` add following command:

```
packloadall
```

#### Resize window

`:res +25`

#### Surround

`:%s/target/{\0} # {target}`
