GVIM is taking time to start when invoked across different machines? - user-interface

As part of my work I will have multiple terminals with logins to various machines in network. I observed that GVIM gui is taking time to start when invoked from machine different than the previous gvim invoke.
If first I invoked gvim on machine1 and next on machine2, the second gvim invoke is taking time to open gvim GUI. Now if I again invoke gvim on machine2 I am not seeing any issue and it opens fast.
I used gvim --startuptime gvim.log and found that invoking GUI is taking more time.

Wrong Vim syntax highlighting group in vim filetype

Hello to all Vim users,
I am running into a syntax color issue that I cannot solve: the Plugin word in my vimrc suddenly stopped being highlighted (colored) (see screenshot) for reasons that I cannot understand. I have this exact vimrc on another computer where the syntax coloring is working fine.
My configuration
MacOS Mojave
My shell emulator is ZSH
I use Vim installed from MacVim (please note that I am not using the GUI provided by MacVim, I use vim in terminal)
$VIMRUNTIME = /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.2-166_1/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/runtime
colorscheme set to default
$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/vim.vim is version 8.0-41 from the latest update of MacVim and I have not edited manually.

EDIT: This is the syntax highlighting I am trying to achieve.

Vim: running `:Explore` (netrw) results in "E492: Not an editor command: Explore"

I can't use :Explore, :Sexplore, et al in both vim or neovim. When I try, I get E492: Not an editor command: Explore.
I know it's a problem with my vimrc, because :Explore works when I run vim -u empty_file.
So, which configuration/plugin is breaking netrw?
Here's my vimrc, which is sourced in nvim's init.vim.
Yes, I know - I have a lot of plugins. I'm a recent convert and just playing the field to see what's worth keeping.
Vim and nVim were installed via homebrew and I believe they are latest stable. Here's the build info for both vim and nvim:

Well, on a hunch, it turns out ranger.vim is the culprit.

Build vim with --remote-tab on OSX

I built vim using:
./configure --with-x --enable-pythoninterp --with-features=huge
but don't have access to vim --remote-tab. I'm using OSX version 10.11.2. I'm hoping to use Vim and not MacVim since I'm using tmux too.
Here's the output of vim --version if it's helpful:

OSX Vim :set laststatus=2 shows only the filename -- but I want to see everything that Ctrl-g provides

Like the title says -- and my google fu fails me as :set laststatus=2 shows only the filename, I'd like to see everything cntrl-g provides.
example:
<relative filename> line 28 of 285 --9%-- col 5
Pretty sure I remember pulling this off with a basic :set command a decade ago, any idea what's going on? Again, all I'm seeing with :set laststatus=2 is the filename.

the option laststatus has nothing to do with "what would be displayed on my status bar". It controls, when/how to display the status-bar.
0 (never)
1 only if you have more than 2 windows, the status bar shows
2 always
if you want to control what would be shown on your status bar, you should check another option: statusline
:h statusline
will give you detailed information. you can DIY a lot.
To your question, personally I have this statusline:
https://github.com/sk1418/myConf/blob/master/common/.vimrc#L506
it shows for example:
~/.vimrc [VIM:unix:utf-8:] [ASCII:61] [row:513/715 71% col:18]
:set ruler
gives you at least some of the information you want. If you want more, read :help 'statusline'.

Problems with vim-pathogen on mac osx

I have recently moved from Ubuntu to Mac osx. And my first thing is to bring my vim with me.
I downloaded source from vim.org and compiled with gcc.( I'll put the version output at the bottom of my post)
I added pathogen.vim to ~/.vim/autoload directory. But when I add the code in ~/.vim/vimrc:
execute pathogen#infect()
I got errors when tring to start vim, here is the error output:
Error detected while processing /Users/jack/.vim/vimrc:
line 3:
E117: Unknown function: pathogen#infect
E15: Invalid expression: pathogen#infect()
Press ENTER or type command to continue
First I though perhaps vim did not load pathogen.vim, but :scriptnames showed it did load!
1: ~/.vim/vimrc
2: ~/.vim/bundle/vim-pathogen/autoload/pathogen.vim
After I ran :function, something caught my attention, there is a "abort" after the infect function, I google around, and found it did not solve my problem either:
function pathogen#legacyjoin(...) abort
function pathogen#runtime_append_all_bundles(...) abort
function pathogen#surround(path) abort
function <SNR>2_Findcomplete(A, L, P)
function pathogen#uniq(list) abort
function pathogen#incubate(...) abort
function pathogen#glob(pattern) abort
function <SNR>2_warn(msg)
function pathogen#runtime_findfile(file, count) abort
function pathogen#separator() abort
function pathogen#runtime_prepend_subdirectories(path)
function pathogen#glob_directories(pattern) abort
function pathogen#infect(...) abort
function pathogen#is_disabled(path)
function pathogen#join(...) abort
function pathogen#cycle_filetype()
function pathogen#split(path) abort
function <SNR>2_find(count, cmd, file, lcd)
function pathogen#fnameescape(string) abort
function pathogen#execute(...) abort
function pathogen#helptags() abort
Can anyone help point out what should I do to solve this problem?
Here is the version output with command "vim --version":

I found the problem.
system vimrc file: "$VIM/vimrc"
user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc"
2nd user vimrc file: "~/.vim/vimrc"
user exrc file: "$HOME/.exrc"
I set $VIM to ~/.vim, which is the same as the 2nd user vimrc file. So the vimrc file load twice.
After I change $VIM to /etc/vim, everything turns out be good.
I had a similar problem and found that I had not created the ~/.vim directory correctly. I created it in the root by changing directory there and typing mkdir /.vim but for some reason it was not working. Then I deleted this folder and did mkdir ~/.vim and was ably to install and use pathogen.
