On occasion a question will inspire members to not just give answer to the question, but to go a step further and develop it in to a full-featured plugin.

Let's list all vi.SE inspired plugins here!

The format I've used for this is:

**[`plugin_name`]()** by [Author]() from [Question]().

Also see: Mark questions that led to creating a new plugin.

  • @LucHermitte It seems I missed the notification on that comment, sorry 'bout that :-/ I would say no, since Stack Overflow is a different site.

  • You may have also missed my question on the other topic: "What about questions that initiated new features in pre-existing plugins? For instance, to answer vi.stackexchange.com/questions/7925/… , I've added a couple of functions and mappings to something that was already there."

  • @LucHermitte Not sure where that was posted, but if a question prompted significant expansion (i.e. more than a small bugfixe or trivial change) to an existing plugin then I'd say it's fine to add it to this list.

  • You mean my (second) comment? It was posted over there: meta.vi.stackexchange.com/q/1381/51. Otherwise, "trivial" is tough to define. In that case, the change consists in 8 effective lines. And yet it relies on things already defined that were far from being trivial.

  • @LucHermitte Yeah, there's a grey area; use your judgement. I don't expect anyone will object adding particular plugin to the list.
