Not a VIM user myself, so forgive me if this is totally offbase. But according to what I gather from the following [VIM Tips][1] site: 

    &quot; where was an option set  
    :scriptnames            : list all plugins, _vimrcs loaded (super)  
    :verbose set history?   : reveals value of history and where set  
    :function               : list functions  
    :func SearchCompl       : List particular function

  [1]: http://rayninfo.co.uk/vimtips.html

The problem with `:scriptnames`, `:commands`, `:functions`, and similar Vim commands, is that they display information in a large slab of text, which is very hard to visually parse.

To get around this, I wrote [Headlights] [1], a plugin that adds a menu to Vim showing all loaded plugins, TextMate style. The added benefit is that it shows plugin commands, mappings, files, and other bits and pieces.

    :set runtimepath?

This lists the path of all plugins loaded when a file is opened with Vim.

If you use [Vundle][1], `:PluginList`.


  [1]: https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim

:help local-additions

Lists local plugins added.

If you use [vim-plug][1] (Plug), &quot;
A minimalist Vim plugin manager.&quot;:

    :PlugStatus

That will not only list your plugins but check their status.


  [1]: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug

    &quot;foo&quot; instanceof String //=&gt; false
    &quot;foo&quot; instanceof Object //=&gt; false

    true instanceof Boolean //=&gt; false
    true instanceof Object //=&gt; false
    false instanceof Boolean //=&gt; false
    false instanceof Object //=&gt; false

    12.21 instanceof Number //=&gt; false
    /foo/ instanceof RegExp //=&gt; true

    // the tests against Object really don&#39;t make sense

Array literals and Object literals match...

    [0,1] instanceof Array //=&gt; true
    {0:1} instanceof Object //=&gt; true

Why don&#39;t all of them? Or, why don&#39;t they all _not_?  
And, what are they an instance of, then?

It&#39;s the same in FF3, IE7, Opera, and Chrome. So, at least it&#39;s consistent.

Why does instanceof return false for some literals?

Is it a deliberate design decision or a problem with our current day browsers which will be rectified in the coming versions?

Why doesn&#39;t JavaScript support multithreading?

Does anybody know of a way to list up the &quot;loaded plugins&quot; in **Vim**?
I know I should be keeping track of this kind of stuff myself but
it would always be nice to be able to check the current status.

I&#39;ve started using Vim to develop Perl scripts and am starting to find it very powerful. 

One thing I like is to be able to open multiple files at once with:

    vi main.pl maintenance.pl

and then hop between them with:

    :n
    :prev

and see which file are open with:

    :args

And to add a file, I can say: 

    :n test.pl

which I expect would then be added to my list of files, but instead it wipes out my current file list and when I type `:args` I only have `test.pl` open.

So how can I add and remove files in my args list?

How to effectively work with multiple files in Vim

Programming in vim I often go search for something, yank it, then go back to where I was, insert it, modify it.

The problem is that after I search and find, I need to MANUALLY find my way back to where I was.

Is there an automatic way to go back to where I was when I initiated my last search?

In vim, how do I go back to where I was before a search?

Using Vim I often want to replace a block of code with a block that I just yanked.

But when I delete the block of code that is to be replaced, that block itself goes into the register which erases the block I just yanked. So I&#39;ve got in the habit of yanking, then inserting, then deleting what I didn&#39;t want, but with large blocks of code this gets messy trying to keep the inserted block and the block to delete separate.

So what is the slickest and quickest way to replace text in Vim?

- is there a way to delete text without putting it into the register?
- is there a way to say e.g. &quot;replace next word&quot; or &quot;replace up to next paragraph&quot;
- or is the best way to somehow use the multi-register feature?

EditPad Lite has a nice feature (&lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;-&lt;kbd&gt;E&lt;/kbd&gt;, &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;-&lt;kbd&gt;I&lt;/kbd&gt;) which inserts a time stamp e.g. &quot;2008-09-11 10:34:53&quot; into your code.

What is the best way to get this functionality in Vim?

(I am using Vim 6.1 on a Linux server via SSH. In the current situation a number of us share a login so I don&#39;t want to create abbreviations in the home directory if there is another built-in way to get a timestamp.)

Has anyone else found VIM&#39;s syntax highlighting of Javascript sub-optimal? I&#39;m finding that sometimes I need to scroll around in order to get the syntax highlighting adjusted, as sometimes it mysteriously drops all highlighting.

Are there any work-arounds or ways to fix this? I&#39;m using vim 7.1.

There&#39;s a bit of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&amp;hl=en&amp;rlz=&amp;q=subclipse+vs+subversive&amp;btnG=Google+Search&amp;meta=&quot;&gt;debate&lt;/a&gt; around the topic, can we come to some conclusion here?


**EDIT:**
It&#39;s been a couple months now, and I ended up deciding the plugin slowed Eclipse down too much, and was a hassle to use every time I changed a file from outside Eclipse.
I ditched the plugin all together and just went with TortiseSVN.

I would like to program Java servlets using Eclipse and I plan on deploying them using Tomcat. I think I can build the projects using Ant which is bundled with Eclipse. I have the standard Eclipse IDE. What options do I have for doing Servlet development in Eclipse? What changes do I need to make to Eclipse? Do I need to install a plug-in?

How do you develop Java Servlets using Eclipse?

I&#39;d like to know what are the most useful JQuery plugins. I&#39;m particularly interested in  those which are likely to be useful in general UI development, such as [Tablesorter][1], rather than those which serve uncommon needs.

If you could provide a very brief description of the plugin&#39;s purpose, that would be really helpful.

Thanks,
Don

How can I start writing a plugin for [Eclipse][1]?

I&#39;ve looked for documentation, but unfortunately there is very little or it&#39;s poor, so what articles can recommended?

How to write a plugin for Eclipse?

I need some resources that talk about how to design your software to be extensible, i.e. so that other people can write add-ons/plug-ins that adds functionality to it.

What do you recommend? Any books out there that discuss the subject?  
I would prefer something that&#39;s short and to the point; a bit of theory and a bunch of concrete examples.

I&#39;m not targeting a specific language, I want to be able to understand the core idea so that I can implement it in any language.  

And for the same reason, I prefer not to do it using a framework that someone else built (unless the framework is not very high-level, i.e. doesn&#39;t hide _too_ much), at the moment I only want to educate myself on the subject and experiment with various ways to implement it. Plus, a framework usually assumes user&#39;s knowledge about the subject.

**UPDATE**

I&#39;m not asking about OOP or allowing my classes to be inherited. I&#39;m talking about designing an application that will be deployed on a system, such that it can be extended by third-party add-ons AFTER its been deployed.

For example, Notepad++ has a plug-in architecture where you can place a .dll file in the plugins folder, and it adds functionality to the application that wasn&#39;t there, such as color-picking, or snippet insertion, or many other things (a wide range of functionality).
