Afaik it can be made to indent with tabs, and I use my tab key to get indentation, but I agree, not quite the same thing. :set shiftwidth=4 does make it line up properly, but still leaves the question of how to turn it off together. Neither shiftwidth=0 nor noshiftwidth work. I suppose it's a vim bug, but I havn't reported it for fear of getting told to RTFM. -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus
