How do I list loaded plugins in Vim?

Question

Does anybody know of a way to list up the "loaded plugins" in Vim? I know I should be keeping track of this kind of stuff myself but it would always be nice to be able to check the current status.

Not a VIM user myself, so forgive me if this is totally offbase. But according to what I gather from the following VIM Tips site:

" where was an option set  
:scriptnames            : list all plugins, _vimrcs loaded (super)  
:verbose set history?   : reveals value of history and where set  
:function               : list functions  
:func SearchCompl       : List particular function

The problem with :scriptnames, :commands, :functions, and similar Vim commands, is that they display information in a large slab of text, which is very hard to visually parse.

To get around this, I wrote Headlights, a plugin that adds a menu to Vim showing all loaded plugins, TextMate style. The added benefit is that it shows plugin commands, mappings, files, and other bits and pieces.

@Mohammed, I installed Headlights. I'm on Mac OS X Mountain Lion, and I don't see menus in "vim". I don't have a "gvim" in my path. Any idea how to get/run a GUI vim that would show me menus so that I could see the Headlights menu? – Rob Bednark Aug 05 '12 at 15:47
@RobBednark MacVim is what your looking for. You can install it with HomeBrew via `brew install macvim` or get it [here](http://code.google.com/p/macvim/). You can activate it from the command line using `mvim` if you install that command line tool. (and you can alias that to `gvim` if you're used to typing that) – adam_0 Sep 08 '12 at 03:29

@adam_0 I have it as `brew cask install macvim` – barlop May 19 '19 at 04:29

:set runtimepath?

This lists the path of all plugins loaded when a file is opened with Vim.

Note that this will only list plugins that have a proper vim help file installed – j b Apr 12 '19 at 06:06

If you use vim-plug (Plug), " A minimalist Vim plugin manager.":

:PlugStatus

That will not only list your plugins but check their status.
