Plugins
surround.vim
Get it here. It will
allow you to enclose selected text in several ways: using parentheses () {} [],
quotes "" '', functions (programming), and even xml tags
VCSCommand
Integration with several VCS programs, including subversion and Git. The
:VCSVimDiff command is what I use the most; it shows the uncommited changes of
the current file. Get it
here
Vim-LaTeX
Allows creating/renaming LaTeX commands and environments quickly, compilation and error checking directly from within Vim, bibliography and label completion. Link
supertab
Allows you to do insert-mode completion with the Tab key (word completion, omni completion, file completion). Link

General
Windows
Force a window to go to the bottom of the screen, and use all the available
horizontal space: ^W J
diff view without diff highlighting
From Andy Wokula
Diff highlighting is overlayed to normal syntax highlighting, thus
just "clearing" the colors should do it, e.g. with the 'highlight' option
:h 'hl
:set hl+=A:none,C:none,D:none,T:none
get normal diff colors back:
:set hl&
see error window
:cwindow
Useful for :vimgrep and :make
scroll simultaneously on two windows
:set scrollbind on both windows
Scripting
Useful functions
expand: get filenames of current buffer, word under the cursor, etc.
