How to install a Vimball plugin (with .vba extension)?
vim, vim-plugin
Solution
Open the vba file with vim, and type the `:source %` command right there. The `%` refers to the current file, so using `:source %` while having a file open in vim is telling it to run the file in the context of vim, which in the case of vba files, is installing it in the proper directories.
Problem
How to install a Vimball plugin (with `.vba` extension)? The documentation just says: install details Edit the vba file and type: ``` :so % ``` The vimball documentation says: All a user needs to do with a vimball is: ``` vim someplugin.vba :so % :q ``` - Do I have to write that in normal mode (inside Vim) or in the `_vimrc` file? - Do I have to write the full path of the `.vba` file? - I can't write `vim someplugin` in normal mode. Do I have to write `:vim plugin`?
