description

This plugin is very much inspired by Tim Pope's pathogen plug-in. vim-ipi adds the functionality of loading infrequently used plugins later. This greatly helps in cutting down vim's start-up time. Examples: Load gundo plugin later: :IP gundo Load gundo and speeddating plugins later: :IP gundo speedating Load all known plugins later: :IP! A very high level of convenience can be achieved by loading the plug-ins automatically right before using their functionality. Here is an example for the gundo plug-in. I just prefixed the mapping with ":silent! IP gundo<CR>": nmap <leader>u :silent! IP gundo<CR>:GundoToggle<CR> Tips: Some plugins use the autocommand VimEnter to do some initialization. ipi has built-in support for a number of plugins that use this feature. A detailed description is provided for the g:ipi_vimenter_autocommand variable.  In case a plugin is not support yet, manual execution of the autocommand can be done by running the following command: :do <AUTOGROUPNAME> VimEnter For the convenience wrapper it would look like this: nmap <leader>f :silent! IP NERDTree<CR>:do NERDTree VimEnter<CR>:NERDTree<CR>

install details

Install in ~/.vim/autoload (or ~\vimfiles\autoload) together with pathogen (vimscript#2332). Pathogen's settings can be used to configure ipi as well, e.g. disable plugins (g:pathogen_disabled). For loading plugins later, install them in ~/.vim/ipi (or ~\vimfiles\ipi) and  add `call ipi#inspect()` to .vimrc. This will create a list of plugins that can be loaded later by using the LL command: The development version is available at http://www.github.com/jceb/vim-ipi.
