Please send comments, suggestions, flames, etc. to NewOfalSor at gPmaAilM dot com, minus NOSPAM Changing environment variables in Windows' "Environment Variables" dialog is just WAY too tedious.  This plugin provides the following benefits:     1. Vim's editing keystrokes.     2. You can resize the window so that the entire value        fits on the screen.     3. You can easily use the value of a different variable        in the definition of another.     4. Vim shows up in the taskbar, so you don't have to        minimize all of your other windows to find the        misplaced "Environment Variables" dialog after looking        up the correct value for a variable in the        documentation.     5. Command-line completion is an easier way to locate        a variable than hunting for it in two different        five-line high lists. At the command-line type this command: :EnvEdit {VARIABLE} This will open a new buffer named $VARIABLE and containing the value of that environment variable.  If there exists no such environment variable, you'll be greeted with an empty buffer. When the buffer is saved, the new text is stored in the default register "", exported to the clipboard via the "+ and "* registers, and exported to Vim's own environment.  This means that any child processes of that instance of Vim inherit the new environment variable. If the environment variable contains your system's path separator character (':' on UNIX and ';' on Windows), the variable's text is split on this character and each component is presented on its own line.  When you save the buffer, all lines are joined and delimited by this same character.  Empty lines are filtered out to prevent consecutive path separators from appearing.
