[gentoo-user] [OT] vim c syntax

[gentoo-user] [OT] vim c syntax

[Dan LaMotte]

really simple problem, but quite annoying.

% vim --version
VIM - Vi IMproved 6.4 (2005 Oct 15, compiled Jan 12 2006 12:36:23)

i am editing a C file and this is the problem i'm having:

in vim i have   set ts=4   to make my tabs 4 spaces instead of 8. I
really dislike 8 spaces for tabs. anyways...

i type in vim

void main ( void )
{<enter>
	int c;

The <enter> autoindent indents it 8 spaces ?!?
my tabstop is 4 though !

I want this

void main ( void )
{<enter>
    int c;

If anyone knows how to fix this or if its like a bug or something...
that'd be great.

thanks.

You probably want something like this in your .vimrc:

set expandtab
set tabstop=8           " ts, number of spaces that a tab *in the original
file* is
                                 "    equivalent to
set softtabstop=4     " how much a tab *that you type* is worth
set shiftwidth=4        " sw, number of spaces shifted left and right when
issuing
                                 "  commands
set autoindent
set smartindent

YMMV
