Question

I plan to switch to vim 7.3 in the next days on my windows box – linux will soon follow. I also plan to switch my vim setup and let pathogen handle my plugins.
I’ve googled but not yet found a solution how to handle plugins using vimball technique for setup. Any hints?

Answer 1

You are looking for :UseVimball [path]

Open the vimball up with vim. Instead of sourcing it with :so % do

$ vim somthing.vba
:!mkdir ~/.vim/bundle/bundle-dir-name-here
:UseVimball ~/.vim/bundle/bundle-dir-name-here

Note you will have to make sure the path exists before you execute this command.

:h :UseVimball
