UPDATE

Since my original post, I've discovered another plug-in I like even more: JSTool.

I've also made a tutorial video on YouTube to guide you through setting up either plug-in.

Just FYI: watching in place here will make you sad or angry as the text will be too small. Either launch full screen or click the YouTube link to view in larger window.

If you use Vim you've no doubt seen the steaming piles of poo it leaves in your working directories.

For example if you open foo.txt in Vim, it creates foo.txt~ in the same directory. I probably see the tilde as a pile of poo because I own a dog. Now that I've said it, you will see it as poo too. You're welcome.

In addition to the ~ file, it will also create a .foo.txt.swp file.

In some cases this is no problem. If you are working on code it may or may not be a problem.
