vim8 native package manager support

[Kapelianovych]

Hello 👋 Can this awesome plugin be installed with vim8's native package manager? If it can then what is the installation process? Thank you)

I'm not too familiar with the native package manager, but I believe there isn't anything special to be done to add this via the package manager.

1. git clone wilder into ~/.vim/pack/*/start where * can be any directory. (or change ~/.vim to any directory under the &packpath option.
2. In your vimrc add the line call wilder#setup() and the plugin should work.

I have tried to do it, but on vim startup, it gave me an error that wilder#setup is not a registered function.

Error detected while processing /Users/username/.vimrc:
line   62:
E117: Unknown function: wilder#setup
Press ENTER or type command to continue

I wrote call wilder#setup({'modes': [':', '/', '?']}) to .vimrc.

Ah, looks like packages under start aren't loaded until after .vimrc is sourced.

Could you try adding wilder to ~/.vim/pack/*/opt instead?

Then in your .vimrc you can add:

packadd wilder
call wilder#setup()

Hi, any updates on this? Does adding to ~/.vim/pack/*/opt work?

[Kapelianovych]

Hi! I sincerely apologize for my silence. Yes, it works now 😃 Thank you 👍

P.S.: as git clones plugin into wilder.nvim directory, by default, so we should write:

packadd wilder.nvim

instead of

packed wilder

Or just change directory in which git clones the plugin.
