Thus adding this to your .vimrc should make most plugins work: set rtp+=~/.nix-profile/share/vim-plugins/youcompleteme " or for p in ["youcompleteme"] | exec 'set rtp+=~/.nix-profile/share/vim-plugins/'.p | endfor which is what the [VAM]/pathogen solutions above basically do. Learn about about plugin Vim plugin mm managers at http://vim-wiki.mawercer.de/wiki/topic/vim%20plugin%20managment.html. The documentation can be accessed by Vim's :help command if it was tagged. See vimHelpTags sample code below. CONTRIBUTING AND CUSTOMIZING ============================ The example file pkgs/misc/vim-plugins/default.nix provides both: * manually mantained plugins * plugins created by VAM's nix#ExportPluginsForNix implementation I highly recommend to lookup vim plugin attribute names at the [vim-pi] project which is a database containing all plugins from vim.org and quite a lot of found at github and similar sources. vim-pi's documented purpose is to associate vim.org script ids to human readable names so that dependencies can be describe easily. How to find a name? * http://vam.mawercer.de/ or VAM's * grep vim-pi * use VAM's completion or :AddonsInfo command It might happen than a plugin is not known by vim-pi yet. We encourage you to contribute to vim-pi so that plugins can be updated automatically. CREATING DERVITATIONS AUTOMATICALLY BY PLUGIN NAME ================================================== Most convenient is to use a ~/.vim-scripts file putting a plugin name into each line as documented by [VAM]'s README.md It is the same format you pass to vimrcConfig.vam.pluginDictionaries from the usage example above. Then create a temp vim file and insert: let opts = {} let opts.path_to_nixpkgs = '/etc/nixos/nixpkgs' let opts.cache_file = '/tmp/export-vim-plugin-for-nix-cache-file' let opts.plugin_dictionaries = map(readfile("vim-plugins"), 'eval(v:val)') " add more files " let opts.plugin_dictionaries += map(.. other file ) call nix#ExportPluginsForNix(opts) Then ":source %" it. nix#ExportPluginsForNix is provided by ./vim2nix A buffer will open containing the plugin derivation lines as well list fitting the vimrcConfig.vam.pluginDictionaries option. Thus the most simple usage would be: vim_with_plugins = let vim = vim_configurable; inherit (vimUtil.override {inherit vim}) rtpPath addRtp buildVimPlugin vimHelpTags; vimPlugins = [ # the derivation list from the buffer created by nix#ExportPluginsForNix # don't set which will default to pkgs.vimPlugins ]; in vim.customize { name = "vim-with-plugins"; vimrcConfig.customRC = '' .. ''; vimrcConfig.vam.knownPlugins = vimPlugins; vimrcConfig.vam.pluginDictionaries = [ # the plugin list form ~/.vim-scripts turned into nix format added to # the buffer created by the nix#ExportPluginsForNix ]; } vim_with_plugins can be installed like any other application within Nix.
