You are right. It was a bit cryptic this question, but what I was
looking for was more those small things that could help a vim script

I know that usr_41 gives a lot of answers but it still only covers the

Depends on your task you have at hand.
Once you know the task, you can pick related script(s)
from www.vim.org/scripts and learn from them.
