I systematically place a comment at the bottom of files that establishes
tabular format:
/* vim: set tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2: */
and even in scripts and other files:
# This enforces this script's tab settings...
# /* vim: set tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2: */
That way, the problem is solved for everyone who visits the file as long
as they're using God's own editor.
Good luck,
Russ
P.S. I might be superstitious about keeping the C comment delimiters in
the script file. Since it worked the first time I pasted it in, I have
just never looked into whether it would work without them. Vim probably
doesn't care; it's your file's consumer that needs the appropriate
comment character.

Hello.
I'm relatively new to VIM, I wondered if there was a
way to mimic the style used in the current file. I use
two spaces to indent my code (two real spaces, not
tab characters) but I know that many people use
real tabs. I would like to be able to automatically
mimic the style of the file that I am editing.
My current .vimrc:
