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.
