Vim plugins

[danbrownlow]

Hey,

I'm having quite a bit of trouble and not sure what to do next so I hope someone will be able to help me

I want to use Vim to help me with web development, so I installed vim first of all.

Next, I read here that I need to set up some directories, so I did that using the commands he listed.

Next, I downloaded the surround.vim latest version from the guys github (using git clone, extracted to the ~/.vim/plugin directory I made earlier).

When I go to use the plugin, nothing happens though.. How can I confirm that it's running and working? Or have I done something obvious wrong.

Thank you.

You need to type some text to use the plugin. Start with Hello World and follow these examples:

Thank you,

I saw that, I think I just messed up the installation. I tried using an addon called Pathogen.vim and it's up and running now.

Thanks again.
