Normally, plugins for Vim are "installed" in your own user directory, you have no need for any server admin to install anything for you. If you find a plugin you want to use, you just place it in: ~/.vim/plugin ~/.vim/ftplugin ~/.vim/syntax ~/.vim/colors etc. depending on the plugin type. However, Vim by default comes with both python and python3 syntax highlighting (well, python3 if you're using a relatively recent distribution). Do you have filetype detection and syntax highlighting set up in your .vimrc already? Possibly this is all you need to add: filetype indent plugin on syntax on -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
