## Standard plugins

Surprising to many people, Vim comes with a handful of plugins on its own that
all get loaded by default. Check `:scriptnames` after starting Vim to see all
sourced files.

Most of them will never get used, so disable them as you see fit. They will
still be shown as sourced, but only the first lines actually get read before Vim
bails out. No further code (mappings, commands, logic) will be processed.
Many people are surprised by the fact that Vim comes with a handful of standard
plugins. Some get loaded by default (`:e $VIMRUNTIME/plugin`) and some are not
(`:e $VIMRUNTIME/pack/dist/opt`). Read `:h pack-add` on how to source the
latter.

Most of the plugins that get loaded by default will never get used, though.
Disable them as you see fit. They will still be shown as sourced
(`:scriptnames`), but only the first lines actually get read before Vim bails
out. No further code (mappings, commands, logic) will be processed.
