I have a Desktop running Windows 7, and a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion. I use gVim and MacVim respectively. I like to keep my plugins and settings synced between the machine, so I store them in my Google Drive, and I can always pull them from there.
On my Mac, I just have a .gvimrc file and a .vim folder in my home folder, and Vim loads all my plugins and settings properly.
On my Windows computer however, Vim WILL properly load settings from the .ggvimrc file in my home folder. But if I store plugins in “home.vim\plugin” Vim will NOT load them.
To get plugins/themes working on my Windows machine, I need to put them in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vimfiles\plugin”
I would like to be able to store everything in my “home.vim” folder on either machine, and have it work properly.
So is there any way to set this up on my Windows machine?
Thank you!
I was unable to implement either of your suggestions for some reason.
I ended up finally solving this by by creating softlinks to my Google Drive folder on all machine. Now if I edit my .vimrc or .vim folder in my Google Drive folder, it’s reflected on all machines instantly. It’s great!
