description
This plug-in contains Vim scripts that are used by most of the Vim plug-ins I've written yet don't really belong with any single one of the plug-ins. Basically it's an extended standard library of Vim script functions that I wrote during the development of my Vim profile and plug-ins.

In the past these scripts were bundled with each plug-in, however that turned out to be a maintenance nightmare for me. That's why the miscellaneous scripts are now a proper plug-in with their own page on Vim Online.

For more information about the miscellaneous scripts please refer to the homepage or the project page on GitHub:

 • http://peterodding.com/code/vim/misc/
 • http://github.com/xolox/vim-misc

If you have questions, bug reports, suggestions, etc. the author can be contacted at peter@peterodding.com. If you like this plug-in please vote for it below!

The following plug-ins of mine depend on the installation of the miscellaneous scripts as a separate plug-in:

 • vim-colorscheme-switcher (vimscript #4586)
 • vim-easytags (vimscript #3114)
 • vim-lua-ftplugin (vimscript #3625)
 • vim-lua-inspect (vimscript #3169)
 • vim-notes (vimscript #3375)
 • vim-reload (vimscript #3148)
 • vim-session (vimscript #3150)
 • vim-shell (vimscript #3123)
 
install details
Unzip the most recent ZIP archive file (see below) inside your Vim profile directory (usually this is "~/.vim" on UNIX and "%USERPROFILE%\vimfiles" on Windows), restart Vim and execute the command ":helptags ~/.vim/doc" (use ":helptags ~\vimfiles\doc" instead on Windows).
