In any event, I've mapped that to ^W, i.e. a big Wrap, so I have something mnemonic and short. (Might not be optimal for anyone who has found some sort of use for the window commands.)

(Actually *it* is the one that contains how many spaces *TAB* inserts, shiftwidth is for other things like `` or `` normal commands.) But it defaults to zero (noexpandtab tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 softtabstop=0 will make TAB insert 2-wide tab) and I forgot that Python ftplugin modifies default. # vim: set noexpandtab tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2: Default shiftwidth for Python files is 4 (which is tabstop * 2 with your settings, so two tabs). You need to set shiftwidth option as well. -- Regards, Peng -- -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.

I used tabstop=4 in powerline with noexpandtab for years. No troubles. Just don’t try to mix tabs and spaces, in case you do note that Python thinks that 1 tab is 8 spaces.

netrw 'qb' starts recoding macro
From netrw normal mode, I type 'qb' to list bookmarks. Sometimes 'qb' will list bookmarks as intended. But usually the 'q' just starts recording a macro. Is there a setting to make 'q' always list bookmarks from netrw normal mode? 'q' is too easy to activate recording accidentally. Is there a way to replace the 'q' with a colon command that starts recording? Thank you. -- -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist. Do not top-post!
