You cannot close plugins. Vim uses buffers and windows (showing text). plugins usually refere to ~/.vim/plugin/* files - if that's not enough and if you want to redistribute a plugin today its most common to put files on github and have a directory structure like this: ftplugin/* plugin/* syntax/* ftdetect/* Details and history see: http://vim-wiki.mawercer.de/wiki/topic/vim%20plugin%20managment.html About keyboard mappings and swiching: Vim supports mapping and unmapping of keyboard shortcuts. However it usually is best to ask plugin maintainers to try either WAY 1: ask maintainers of plugins to allow configuring the mappings so that there is no collision WAY 2: Don't load both plugins at the same time, either use plugin 1 or plugin 2. Plugin managers such as vim-addon-manager or NeoBundle support loading additional script runtime directories (as describe above) lazily, eg when opening a .php file a php debugger plugin/script would be loaded. (How this is done refere to vim-addon-manager or NeoBundle's documentation) > Is there any plugin that facilitates the activities mentioned? I tried writing tovl (the one vinmlib once) - but abandoned it for many reasons - taking care about "resetting" or "unloading" plugins/mapping/... is not worth the effort because restarting Vim is that cheap. Plugins such as github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-local-vimrc can help reconfiguring Vim to work with a specific project. Marc Weber -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
