Overview

Create a Vim plugin from scratch and get to understand the whole workflow needed to put together a plugin that will work with any file type as well as some specific types like Python or XML.
In this video, I'll explain everything you need to know to create a function in Vim, and port anything you may have in your .vimrc over to a specific plugin so that you can distribute it and install it later.
Topics include:
* Find about public and private functions in Vim
* Port existing utilities in a .vimrc to make them a plugin
* Map a command to a Vim function
Useful links:
* Create a Vim Plugin repository
* Tim Pope's Pathogen.vim
