Introduction
The purpose of these extensions is to make the use of Vim easier, especially for
programming tasks, while preserving the extraordinary features of Vim, which make
it (imho) one of the best editors available.
The main part, and probably of most interest for you, is the possibility to enter
folds. Entering a fold means to hide everything apart from the fold, so that only
the fold you have entered is visible. Thus, you will be able to organise your files
much better, and to find and edit certain parts of your files much easier and faster.
Especially for long source code files, this is very useful.
There are also a lot of other features, please check out the help on that by typing
:help kent
after installation.
Note: These extensions are tested for Vim version 6.1 onwards. No guarantees
for lower versions!
There are the following parts:
Kent Folding Extensions
Extensions to improve the look and feel of folds.
Especially the possibility to enter folds, inspired by the old origami editor,
is very useful.
|
Improvements to the Look and Feel of Vim and GVim
The purpose is to make it easier to use Vim, especially for users without a lot
of Vim experience.
|
Kent Programming Extensions
Extensions useful for programming tasks.
For example commenting out parts of the code depending on the language.
|
Kent occam Extensions
Extensions related to the occam language.
Contains syntax and indent files for occam, as well as an easy way to compile,
debug and run occam programs.

Download
If you haven’t got Vim itself yet, download it from
vim.org and install it in the normal way.
Then download the runtime files (either in
tar.gz or zip
format) and put them in your Vim runtime directory (usually ~/.vim under
Unix or C:\Program Files\vim\vimfiles under Windows).
If you are a Unix user, download the
Unix resource files, and put them in your
home directory.
If you are a Windows user, download the
Windows resource files, and put them in your
Vim folder (usually C:\Program Files\vim).
Getting Started
Once all files are in the correct place, start Vim and get familiar with the new features
by typing
:help kent
and pressing <Enter>.
If you have problems or discover bugs, please send me an e-mail at info@informatico.de.
