vim-plugin-skeleton

This projects serves as a template to create new vim plugins

Top-level structure

plugin: Main directory. A plugin can be just one file living in this directory
autoload: If the plugin is big, you can put most of the functions here and they will be loaded only when they are used. This speeds up vim startup time.
ftdetect: vimscript code to detect the filetype (if your plugin has to deal with new filetypes)
ftplugin: code that is tied to a specific filetype
syntax: Vim syntax files
doc: plugin documentation in plain text files following a special vim syntax.
