What's the easiest way to develop a new plugin?

[TomasTomecek]

Hi, thanks again for helping me out here #279

I finally found some free time to work on my plugin. Unfortunately I'm struggling with a good development workflow.

I added the file as you suggested: plugin/my-thing.vim and I'm starting neovim as nvim -c ":set runtimepath+=$PWD" which works great because it loads my plugin from rplugin/python3/my_plugin/, but unfortunately it doesn't load the code from the plugin/ folder. Is this a bug? Is there a better way?

You should create the minimal vimrc like this to load your plugin.

set runtimepath+={some_plugin_path}

$ nvim -u test.vimrc

I think this questions/answers/tips would be great additions for a guide section under the pynvim docs.

This should already be answered in the readme: https://github.com/neovim/python-client#remote-new-style-plugins

If something's missing in that section, please say what.
