I have never used that vim extension, but looking at the screenshots it
seems to be mostly about templates for different kinds of comments,
headers, and control structures.  You can have that (without being
specific to shell scripts) using yasnippets [1], or one of the built-in
methods discussed in (info "(autotype)Top").
