My favorite plugins are the ones that make native features more intuitive. vim has some cool stuff builtin, but sometimes they are so difficult to use it's not even funny.

It adds one command to manage the file of your current session.

Enhances the f and t moves, by providing you with hints to move faster across a line.

And speaking of moves. This one is in the same spirit, but it works across the visible portions of the window.

Makes it easier to toggle the built-in terminal. Just that.

To maximize a window. I mostly use this with nuake, because sometimes I need the terminal to take the whole screen.

Modifies some of the behaviors of the quickfix window. To make it nicer.

This one also works with the quickfix window. It makes it modifiable in a more "intuitive" way. It makes big updates (like find and replace across a project) so much easier.

Here is my config if anyone is curious.
