Better use ~/.vim/plugin/ directory to put vim plugins files (as mentioned by Vim help command). See [this video] ! In vim, see the help: :h plugin

if you can do it interactively you may try it with easymotion-plugin [LINK] : d;;fh -> will grey out all text and mark all h letters red but substitute them by a,b,c,… and then you may hit b to delete to the second h . I know this description is a bit cryptic - have a look at a [this video] Ps.: I forgot to mention ; is my leader key

Cites Joon-Sub · 2011-04 · Super User · on “Adding a plugin Vim Folder on a MacOSX”

I saw a tutorial on using VIM and I was curious how the user actually added a couple plugins without opening the content of the MACVIM app, but instead by going to the folder plugin using the command "~/.VIM" As seen here: [this video] I'm not really sure how everyone is able to do this. Thanks for the help.
