Thanks Tony, I understand that this is the implemented behavior but I am trying to argue that in this case the behavior should be changed to allow to add plugins from start when those options are passed from the command line. :runtime pack/bundle/start/unimpaired.vim in my opinion is not practical, packadd is a lot more practical as you don't need to specify the path, just the package name, and also completion is offered. I am not very familiar with vim's code base, although I compile it often for windows and cygwin. If in the author/maintainers opinion this behavior would be accepted I will try to submit a patch for this. I would not be able to do it immediately but within a month time. Please let me know if there is interest in doing this or not. Thank you. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
