Vim config problem in jessie
I'm having problems setting the vim configuration -
and having it mean something - in a fairly new computer.
One simple example is the tab stops. Since I'm the
only direct user of this machine, I've simply edited
/etc/vim/vimrc, where I have the line:
set tabstop=4
In addition, I've appended the line
set ts=4
to some of the 'plugin' files, for example:
/usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/python.vim
{the normal ending line with ts=8 has been commented-out;
otherwise the plugin file is unaltered from the Debian original}.
However when I open a python file, it's obvious that
8-space tabs are being used. Doing a set: shows that
softtabstop=4
But there is no
tabstop=4
whereas opening a 'C' file will achieve the latter (and
'proper' spacing.
The file is recognized as python - the keywords are highlighted
as expected. Manually entering the set ts=4 sets things right.
I've tried creating a ~/.vim/vimrc to no avail. I've not had
any problem with previous incarnations of Debian.
One has to suspect that some config file is overriding mine.
A quick examination of the installed vim packages using
dpkg -L ...
has turned up nothing other than links to /etc/vim/vimrc
Anyone have any hints regarding the source of this annoyance?
TIA!

If I remove my ~/.vimrc and open a Python file I get
ts=8 and sw=8. And when I edit the file the tabs are 8 as expected.
I have not changed any of the system wide Vim configs in Debian.
If I create a ~/.vimrc with only one line
set ts=4
and then open the Python file again I will get ts=4, sw=8 and
tabs will be 4 as expected.
In your case the ts=4 setting is non-existent even if set in a ~/.vimrc.
This seem particularly odd.

I should have added one more interesting detail. If I comment out the
(python) plugin call in /etc/vim/vimrc:
if has(autocmd)
filetype plugin indent on
endif
then the tabstops work without the manual override. Having, of course,
lost all the nice stuff associated with the plugin. Just to make sure
I hadn't messed up the plugin I commented-out the 'set ts=4' that I
had appended to the plugin - no change in its behavior :(

One simple example is the tab stops. Since I'm the only direct

have the line:
set tabstop=4
In addition, I've appended the line
set ts=4
to some of the 'plugin' files, for example:
/usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/python.vim
The only entry in my ..syntax/pthon.vim with ts=8 is the modeline at
the bottom. This would only have an effect with python.vim is
opened.
It would not effect the editing of Python files.
{the normal ending line with ts=8 has been commented-out;
otherwise the plugin file is unaltered from the Debian original}.
However when I open a python file, it's obvious that 8-space tabs
are being used. Doing a set: shows that
softtabstop=4
But there is no
tabstop=4
whereas opening a 'C' file will achieve the latter (and 'proper'
spacing.
The file is recognized as python - the keywords are highlighted
as expected. Manually entering the set ts=4 sets things right.
Are there any modelines in this file?
Does this issue occur with all Python files or just this one?
Can you post an example?
All python files with tabs; for example:
#!/usr/bin/python
def f() :
return 1
print f()

And yes, I know that some people consider tabs sinful. Thanks so much
for considering this!
I've tried creating a ~/.vim/vimrc to no avail. I've not had any
problem with previous incarnations of Debian.
One has to suspect that some config file is overriding mine.
A quick examination of the installed vim packages using
dpkg -L ...
has turned up nothing other than links to /etc/vim/vimrc
Anyone have any hints regarding the source of this annoyance?
TIA!

I use
~/.vimrc
and haven't experienced any of these issues.

Thanks .. but tried that too, no change.

If I remove my ~/.vimrc and open a Python file I get ts=8 and sw=8. And
when I edit the file the tabs are 8 as expected.
I have not changed any of the system wide Vim configs in Debian.
If I create a ~/.vimrc with only one line
set ts=4
and then open the Python file again I will get ts=4, sw=8 and tabs will
be 4 as expected.
In your case the ts=4 setting is non-existent even if set in a ~/.vimrc.
This seem particularly odd.
What Vim versions are you running?
jeri@hudson:~$ dpkg -l vim* | grep ii ii vim2:7.4.161-1
amd64Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor ii vim-common
2:7.4.161-1 amd64Vi IMproved - Common files ii vim-doc

I should have added one more interesting detail. If I comment out the
(python) plugin call in /etc/vim/vimrc:
if has(autocmd)
filetype plugin indent on
endif
This is the difference. On my machine it is commented out.
With ts=4 in my ~/.vimrc it will correctly be set with this commented out.
With it uncommented I get ts=8.
Why it behaves this way, I haven't figured out yet.
then the tabstops work without the manual override. Having, of course,
lost all the nice stuff associated with the plugin. Just to make sure
I hadn't messed up the plugin I commented-out the 'set ts=4' that I
had appended to the plugin - no change in its behavior :(

Re: Vim config problem in jessie
Hello Frank,
i experienced same issues in past. This link helped to solv all my issues:
http://henry.precheur.org/vim/python
First I would like to point out something when writing a Vim configuration file.
Generally don’t use the autocmd command to add hooks to a specific
filename’s extension. AutoCmd ... *.py ... might look like a good way
of executing commands when opening a Python file; it’s not. Because
all Python filenames do not necessarily end with .py; some executable
scripts might not have extension for example.
autocmd FileType python is better. But there is an even better way:
ftplugin. For instance, instead of the following in your vimrc
AutoCmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.py
\ setlocal tabstop=4
\ setlocal softtabstop=4
\ setlocal shiftwidth=4
\ setlocal textwidth=80
\ setlocal smarttab
\ setlocal expandtab
Create the directory ~/.vim/ftplugin; create a file named
~/.vim/ftplugin/python.vim containing:
setlocal tabstop=4
setlocal softtabstop=4
setlocal shiftwidth=4
setlocal textwidth=80
setlocal smarttab
setlocal expandtab
Now every files detected as Python files by Vim get the previous
commands executed. Even those with filenames which do not end with
.py.
HTH,
Stano
