description
VIM 8.0 introduced a new way to handle (optional) plugins via the
|:packload| command. This plugin aims at facilitating the handling of
optional packs by loading packs when certain triggers are invoked. The
goal of this approach is to reduce startup time without interferring
with your workflow.

A trigger could be
- Invocation of a command (see |:Autocommand|)
- Invocation of a map (see |:Automap|)
- Editing a file with a specific filetype (see |:Autofiletype|)
- Editing a file matching a specific file pattern (see
  |:Autofilepattern|)

How to use this plugin~
- Edit ~/.vim/packrc/autorc.vim
- Add autopack commands (|:Autocommand|, |:Automap|, |:Autofiletype|,
  |:Autofilepattern| as needed)
- "Filetype packs", i.e. packs matching `pack/ft_{FILETYPE}/opt/*` in
  you 'runtimepath' are automatically enabled when editing a file with
  the respective filetype
- Restart vim

Example autorc.vim file >
    Automap ttoc_vim nnoremap <Leader>cc :TToC<cr>
    Autocommand trag_vim Trag
    Autofiletype workbook_vim r
    Autofilepattern ttodo_vim *todo.txt *TODO.TX
 
install details
Either use the zip archive:
    - Download the zip archive
    - Extract it to `~/.vim/pack/tml/start/autopack`

or install from github:
    - Start a terminal
    - Change the working directory to `~/.vim/pack/tml/start/`
    - Type: `git clone https://github.com/tomtom/autopack_vim`

NOTE: If you don't want to run this plugin on startup, use
`~/.vim/pack/tml/opt/`.

NOTE: On Windows, ~/.vim might be ~/vimfiles. Please see 'runtimepath'
for details.

NOTE: If you want to have autopack-related commands available in your VIMRC
file or if you want to load packrc configuration files for packs in a
`start` subdirectory, you should move the plugin directory to
`pack/tml/opt/autopack_vim` instead and add `:packadd autopack_vim` to
your vimrc file.
