Right. It looks like the reason that you (Gaston) installed the surround plugin in ~/.vim/bundle is that you were following the installation instructions on the plugin's github page. Those instructions recommend using pathogen.vim. ~/.vim/bundle is not automatically included in 'runtimepath' and Vim does not automatically search it because it is a subdirectory of ~/.vim. Vim automatically searches some subdirectories of ~/.vim, but not ~/.vim/bundle. Vim searches ~/.vim/bundle only because the pathogen plugin tells it to. You will need to install and configure the pathogen plugin for Vim to find any plugin installed under ~/.vim/bundle. Regards, Gary -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
