How to install vim plugin in Windows 10?

Question

I installed a vim.exe on my Windows machine. There isn't a .vim directory in my home directory. How to install vim plugin in this case?

Solution

If you installed vim with default settings from vim.org, then home directory will be created in C:\Users\user_name\vimfiles. Where user_name is name of your windows user. I suggest you use pathogen as the easiest plugin manager. You just unpack plugin in bundle subdirectory of your home directory and it works.

As for second question about c++, i recommend ctags and cscope based plugins for navigation, autocompleters and snippets for fast coding, some useful tools for fast editing. Search for next plugins:

cctree, cscope_macros
easytags
OmniCppComplete, youcompleteme
taglist, tagbar
ultisnips/snipmate
fswitch
surround
unimpaired

Some of them requires long setup and even compilation (like youcompleteme) and python support, but give you more power. =) Good luck.
