Hello,

Does anyone knows a way to configure vim so it automatically select to correct expandtab value depending on the current buffer 'way of doing' ? I need to edit different files, some are using spaces, others tabs. Those belong to different projects, and changing all spaces to tabs is not an option for me.

I can't make vim automatically comply with the current buffer coding style, anyone knows if it is possible ?

If you can't get vim to automatically recognize the different styles you
have to work with, then you could look into adding a "modeline" to each
file.  Typing ":help modeline" in vim will tell you how they work.

Adding such a line to each and every file may be a bit of work, and you
may have to convince other people working on the project that "explicit
is better than implicit".
