rsi.vim
rsi.vim (GitHub: tpope / vim-rsi, License: Vim) by Tim Pope adds Readline/Emacs-style bindings to Vim. It does sometimes feel like everything apart from Vim has the same shortcuts, and so Tim has made a plugin that brings them to Vim without overriding commonly used existing bindings.
The Readline mappings work in the Insert and Command-line modes. You can review the mappings here: rsi.vim.
Tablify
Tablify (GitHub: Stormherz / tablify) by Vladimir Shvets turns structured data into tables. Pressing \tt turns a selection into a table with left-aligned text. The example from the readme is as follows:
Artist | Song | Album | Year
Tool | Useful idiot | Ænima | 1996
Pantera | Cemetery Gates | Cowboys from Hell | 1990
Ozzy Osbourne | Let Me Hear You Scream | Scream | 2010Becomes:
